I had a lesson with Jeanette Brakewell on Monday (sj and XC). I was fine over XC but over SJ I was freezing coming into the jumps and got nervous so Gem stopped and I fell off!!!3 times to be exact!
She had me with longer reins and literally kicking Gem into the jumps! But I was so nervous the jumps were smaller sj than XC! How can I increase my confidence? We're both more than capable of jumping bigger than 70cm (and infact was going to do the 80cm last sun had we not had done 5 rounds already!), but I just can't break through enough to do it consistently.
