My mare is a loony! But I love her

I got there went into warm up and when I did my first little x pole, I went into light seat early, she decided to hesitate, I very nearly went over her head, but she came to meet me at the last possible second. And I stayed on, she does her best to help me stay on.
Then we did a straight and she knocked it down, and then stopped and bucked 3 times on landing. Haha.
Went into Novice (70cm) and she just went, I had enough control to slow her down a bit, but not enough, we had one pole down.
Went into Intermediate (80cm) I've never done intermediate before and she went even faster, no breaks at all, I've never jumped that fast before lol.
Mum filmed it but she doesn't have a clue how to use the camera, the novice she didn't know how to zoom in, and then the intermediate she kept zooming in wrong places lol and missed fence 1.
Novice

Intermediate

Thanks Nickie
 
That intermediate round was really good! Just a few things, try look up a bit more between the fences and you fold really nicely with your body but not much with your hands. Maybe it's because she felt strong, but honestly she looked really nice and in a good rhythm! You think that was fast you should see my TB showjumping lol! Well done

i think you speed is perfect, you need to travel to do bigger fences, your not going to have a nice jump from a pootly little canter, you got a very good stride on most of them which i think comes from a good flowing canter. well done
