We have an issue, my delightful mare who the other week I posted wouldn’t jump smaller simply fences when XC schooling but would happily fly over 3ft XC fences and even a trekena which she had never seen before in her life has just decided she wont jump a course of 2’6” – 2’9” show jumps on grass but would happily in the same class jump an upright 2’9 brush fence.

Does anyone else have this issue or could it be me as a rider that has the issue? I am at a loss show jumps individually fine not a problem in a ring on grass impossible! She suddenly decides to ignore my leg and will not move off yet XC shes all over it.

We used to have an issue with dressage boards but not a problem anymore now its Show jumps on grass! Please help.

Kind Regards
 
She is 10 was very green when I bought her 2 years ago but we have learnt alot since then.

She will jump a course on a surface but not so keen on grass,

We went schooling SJ in the field yesterday and she had to look at all the jumps firsts before she would jump them then straight from that we went on the XC and jumped everything first time no hessitation and no wanting to look at any of the fences first!
