Hey everyone,
So today I’ve meassured my sec D and I really don’t think I will be able to squeeze him into 148 to be the next BSJ pony when my daughter moves up from her 138.
Now this leaves me either to sell him and get myself something bigger to compete myself OR register him as a horse with BSJ and compete in seniors. But that means he has to cope with full on horse strides and currently he struggles with triple combinations. He doesn’t make the distance on the last fence especially if it’s let’s say 2 strides and a wide oxer.
My question is: Would you train to make the distance, so trying to lengthening his stride OR train to shorten his stride to be able to put another one in without being too close and leap over?
Hope my question makes sense to you all. Thanks for the advice I advance. Popcorn for you all
