I have a lovely homebred 6yr old who is ready to move up to 90cm / 1m classes but I have lost my nerve, its now 3 yrs ago I was jumping 1.10/1.15 classes but since losing my other horse I have just being doing smaller classes with my youngster with a bit of showing and dressage.
I am desperate to jump the 1m classes so what would you do in my shoes:
1. Go out and buy a more experienced horse, something jumping foxhunters ( although I am not interested in jumping that level but my logic is that it should easily take me around a smaller course )
2. Look at a potential loan horse for a couple of years ( local horse ), although 17yrs old fit and healthy and won 2 x classes last weekend
3. Spend my money on more lessons and don't be impatient
If I select no.1 I would have to sell my homebred Irish 2yr old, but option 2 is still financially viable so my 2yr old would stay.
so confused...............
