how do you know when the times right to affiliate ?
my daughter wants to and her horse is more than capable. it is her who holds him back at the moment as she doesnt have that much experience in the ring. ive said to her once she is confidently jumping 3ft courses and going clear then id let her try on a day ticket. she is currently jumping 2'6 (the horse is 16hh and cant be arsed with these small jumps lol ) as although she has been riding on and off for 10 yrs this is her first year of doing the local shows, she is going to do the 2'9 classes at the last few shows we do and we will get him out over the winter to give them both some experience..she has jumped this horse over a 4ft fence and reguarly puts him over higher then 2'6 at home, but doing a course that height is a different ball game, she originally wanted to affiliate in 08 but is now aiming to do it next yr. what height do they need to be successfully jumping before i even consider letting her affiliate?
thanks in advance
