Jumped little pony 95cm today - v pleased given that a week ago I still hadn't jumped her since the show when she fell with me in March, and that I haven't jumped her that big since Jan! Might also have found a little girl to compete her, but we'll see how that goes as pony isn't easy! Also took my horse out jumping and we did 2ft3 like it didn't exist so will have to do 2ft6 next time! Silly confidence thing - last summer she was jumping 90cm/1m at home, all I need to do is trust her!
Took everyone's advice on here and shortened my stirrups - quite a bit. My instructor couldn't believe the difference, and jumping today I felt so much more stable. Still got to get used to feeling more 'on top' of the horse rather than round it, but that shouldn't take long now.
