My TB mare has really come on with her jumping :) we started jumping properly in about march. Shes taken to it so well.
At first she was really green with it as you can see with the first few pics, with her dangly front legs! now shes throwing a really nice shape over them and is getting brave :)
We did a few small shows this summer (small courses of around 2'3 - 2'6) both are confident at this height, although i get the feeling she would give bigger fences more respect. We jump lots of grids at home mainly around the 3ft mark :) what do you think :)
So here she is in march:

cant see the march piccys but the recent ones look good, looks like its all coming together! :D well done for your hard work :)
 
Looking good and ready to do a bit more. How is the dressage going? Is she any calmer at shows?

Thank you :)

Took her to a small show last weekend and she was alot better.
As for the dressage we have our good days and our bad ones, she still gets stressy when shes away from home but making baby steps :)
Aiming to do the 2'9 classes next year and we have a mini ODE in october which consists of a prelim test and 2'6 xc and SJ. She seems to enjoy the XC too, once we get in the swing of things shes really keen :D
