Trying to build confidence up

[lisan]

May does'nt help! Anyway, no critism please, I was really nervous there were loads of people there, got round to fence 4 the nice plain easy one, I must have relaxed and not had my leg on and the lil Madam stopped! Anyway, got round in one piece, with the 4 faults.

I think you look great!

She was bloomin hard work! Was probably feeding off my nerves, oh well, practice practice, we will get there again eventually.

I think you look fine! The only way to deal with SJ nerves is to keep the height small and do it over and over and over again...in my experience anyway, that's what cured me!

Thats what I'm doing, been going to Valiants a small local evening show and doing the 60 and 70 classes, so decided to venture out to a nice venue today. Onwards and upwards - will hopefully build it up to do an ODE later this year

I ditto what the others have said, you looked great.

Bar the hiccup, with the stop, May was going forward and looked like she was enjoying what she was doing.

BTW, I loved the snazzy turn on the sixpence, you did in front of the camera, are you showing off?

 

[cobden99]

Oh pffff - that stop was so small and at the top end could hardly see it

I thought it looked great

Those turns come in very handy in a jump off, she is very good at them! Hopefully next time we will have a JO report to post too! As for going forward, it did'nt look as fast on the camera but felt fast really had to hold her back.

Having broken both legs last year I think it is amazing that you are back out there doing this. Well done

 

[lilpinkdonkey4]

you broke both your legs... eek, well double well done to you then.

as others say she looks nice and forward and rhythmical, well done, you ride her nicely!

 

[Tiffany]

Think you did really well and if you are back competing after breaking both legs you should be REALLY pleased with yourself. WELL DONE !

Not quite that bad, did one in June 05 Showjumping then came off and did the other on September 06, again, showjumping

But she is such a sharp little madam its taking me a long time to build the confidence with her, which is a shame as we have such a fab relationship otherwise.

 

[Peanot]

well done babe, great to see you out there doing it again.
Looking good.

Well done. Looks like a nice round.

That's Myerscough isn't it? I wanted to go today but couldn't.

 

[lisan]

Yes it was myerscough, love it there!

It was pretty busy though, they did'nt start the 85cm until about 4.30.
