twiggy my 4yo tb is now going sweetly on the flat (canter is improving slowly) and we are now introducing jumping slowly. I've only ever produced a youngster once before which was george good few years back now! and he took to jumping like a duck to water.
The thing is even though we have kept everything so far to very small crosses no bigger than 2ft she is still very 'leggy' (hence the name twiggy)clumsy and all over the place. She just seems to strike me as a very slow learner! Im not wanting to rush her or anything dont get me wrong, Im more than happy for her to gain confidence playing over these tiny jumps for a while yet! I was just wondering if this is an indicator of what her future ability will possibly be when she gets older? Or is it simply time to work it all out and get stronger? It difficult to know how to assess her when george took to it all instantly!
