Very happy with the horse, again!!

Took him jumping at hartbury, the 80cm was a bit of a diasaster again he just doesn't seem to jump that height well at all. I think I don't ride well enough into it because its little and it shows onto him. We only had one pole but we were lucky not to have every fence!

The 90cm went a lot better he was very smooth listened to me when I said woah he slowed and when I said go he went, even though the first jump was quite horrible! He came 2nd in the 90 and we qualified for the hartbury showjumping championships!

I don't know what to do now though should I stop doing the 80 and go straight to 90? On sunday we did the same had a rough 80 yet an amazing 90?

Thanks for any help given etc, we also have very pretty blue rossette

Well done! Glad to hear he is going better.

I think it might be a good idea for you to start starting at 90 cm. I too find that I tend to ride better when the fences are bigger. Is there a 1m you could enter? Then you could warm up with 90cm and the 1m would be more of a challenge and something to work on. Just an idea. Well done for qualifying though!

Very well done you. Hows the getting deep thing going?
On the heigt thing, yer you may find that he jumps better at a bigger height so he may be worth skipping the 80cm, or you may find he needs a warm up round to get going bit of trial and error but as above if your doing well in th 90cm classes it will be worth doing 90cm and a 1m class. Then you can use the 90cm as a warm up. Well done though.
