When i jumped ebs yesterday as i landed her neck wasnt there? and i thought i was going to go straight over and off! the corner was tight so she turned quickly? i gave with my hands and do what i normaly do but her neck wasnt in front of me when i landed? am i doing something wrong, that i havent noticed?

Sorry it sounds so silly, but i want to know im not not riding right :o
 
Not looking for the next fence like your mare was!!!! Look for your fences and you'll be fine.
Good luck

Ohh good right, just wondered cause i dont want it always happening, it seem to happen just over the 3.3ft + fences and i thought i was a gonna :o
thanks

So you're jumping 3'3 grids? What are you practising for, 6 bar competitions?

I agree with Jess Tickle. You are insecure and unbalanced and should probably practise riding correctly over smaller fences before jumping bigger ones.

Also, there is no need to be jumping that high so regularly at home, particularly on a mare with arthritis. Start concentrating on technique rather than trying to impress us by mentioning the heights of the fences - you're not.

I agree with the above, It is better to work on position and technique over lower fences first and the build the height.
Out of interest what height do you usually compete at?
