Not very high at the moment
My shattered confidence is still being rebuilt after a string of horrid horsies!
Currently I jump about 2'9" to school over, then I might put the fence up to 3'6" ish if I'm feeling brave and he's going well.

I have jumped 5" on my old 14.2" many a time before i sold him! He was fab!
Compete up to 1.25m, and jump the odd fence or in a lesson higher!

depends on how big a fright i got!
Don't jump my horse as every time I try he finds new and wonderfull ways of making me part of the school surface.
Pluss why go over the jump when there is perfectly good sized gap at the side?

1.10m at the mo generally...
but have jumped 1.40 on my pony for 4 fences ona course -but then i would point him at anything as i felt that he would not stop at anything - felt really safe and secure and so then i trusted him to jump huge!
the horse im not so sure as im not quite sure that he has a brain

On my current pony we have jumped quite a few 5ft+ hedges very happily.
However, when it comes to jumping at home or out and about I am rather more wimpy!! I need hounds to be running to be totally fearless.

4ft max so far, and that was with a lot of trust as its the highest I have ever jumped. I would do higher if I had a horse that I knew would do it and had a comfortable jump as to be honest 4ft feels like 2ft - its just the run up thats more intimidating.
If its a comp its 75cm, but hope to be going 95cm by end of year

Erm....5 years ago (you know, as a 15 year old with no fear) about 4 foot...today....get worried at about 2'9. Also have a fear of lone verticals...much prefer a good spread. Is that strange!?! Maybe because I believe that they won't knock the front pole out with the front legs and then fall on it.
I have become very wimpy! I used to work on a dealers yard from the age of 11 where you do get on some horrible stuff and I was brave, now that I have the pony (who is on loan) and I only ride her once every 2 months....

I used to jump my shettieX up to 3ft4 when I was younger and my feet didnt touch the ground
Jumped my friends old 13.3hh cob 4ft, and my mare 3ft6 but working on her.... shes no jumper!!
Mind you learnt not to use that statement after visiting a horse that had had an 'accident'. They had bought him a few weeks ago and were told 'now listen this isnt a jumper!!' then he jumped an 8foot hedge out of his field !!!
