and my pony was really good tonight :)

well done you :)

i am in the same box my horse has just turned 5 and only jumped with me.

We had our third jumping lesson today and it was so cool survivied i did not fall off or die :D
 
ah that sounds fab, atleast you have him young enough to teach him how to jump properly
we just go at 100mph round everything

i even got a comment by someone at the gate going "bloody hell shes got a good seat"
she got a bit deep into some; leading to some funny jumps with long reins!!
and we had 1 refusal; she stopped and i thought she was going to rear, and i sat all of that.. gave her a kick and we went from halt to canter really quickly (only about 3 strides away) to fly the jump lol

i was so happy that i actually rode her, and made her listen to me.. rather than being tanked round and having loads of stops...
 
That is such good news, I am delighted for you. Can I ask a really silly question? What is trailblazers? Here in this country, there is nothing to jump in unless your registered with SJAI and that starts at 90cms. I wouldnt jump a 90cm course, no actually even 1 single jump at 90cm, maybe 70cm if it was on a good day, so there are no competitions to do. It's so frustrating, even if it's a giant of a horse, when they are learning, they are expected to jump 90cm course. I'd move if I could afford to.

Anyway, well done, love to hear good news!!!!

hi i use to live in ireland there are hunter trials all over the place if you are really looking for something to jump.

sounds like you had great fun jumping. i love riding my own horse you know what they are thinking ........ although there was that time that he thought i was a fly and kicked me in the head :eek: must have been on a parallel universe then lol!!!!
 
well its like a "grassroots" type competition
sponsored by spillers and SEIB and BETA

they do showjumping classes for juniors and seniors (classes from 65cm - 1.05)
showing classes for juniors and seniors (all the usual stuff)
dressage for juniors and seniors (w&t - elementary)
and have introduced combined training for juniors and seniors

so you go to a 1st round, and have to get a certain placing or score; which allows you to go on to the 2nd round; and if you qualify after the 2nd rounds then you go to the championship finals in stonleigh...

thank you very much :)

Wish we had that here, thank you for explaining it, is it for horses or ponies or both?? I really am delighted to hear of your confidence coming back, it's not very nice being afraid of something you love.
 
depends on the discipline
i know the 65cms they do a 12 year and under class and a seperate class for riders over 12
but i think the classes are split 148cm and under, and 148cm +

not sure though

it is difficult; but i am getting there, considering a couple of months ago she wouldnt even canter properly...

shes a stubborn old mare lol; and should know better at 19!!
