I jumped Lady today, we have only ever jumped her at about 2"3ft at home, so decided to put it up a bit more today.
We put up a "grid" of 3 fences, only xpoles to start with to ge the striding right. Jumped it fine several times so we put up the last jump a bit bigger- she popped it no problem.
Gradually built it up and she just kept pinging! She has such an amazing tenchnique- I can really feel her use her sholders over a fence and she tucks her little feet right up and really rounds over the fence!
She is also very brave and honest- when the last jump was at its highest (2"9ft so not HUGE but big enough!), we messed up the striding from the first to the second, and therefore was messed up from the second to the last, yet she STILL jumped it even though she was all wrong, and kept it up! Was so impressed as most ponies would of ground to a stop!
We then took the last fence out and just jumped it as a double but put some fillers in the second part- she was very wobbily going into the spooky jumps and she gave them a couple of foot to spare, but she didnt stop/run out once!
very very proud of her!
sorry, proud mummy moment
I am just really pleased as I am the only person who rides her and she has improved so much so quickly- when we got her and started pole work with her she would dodge out at a pole on the floor!
