Yay! I jumped today

[PapaFrita]

Had a sneaky jump on Antifaz when no one was looking. I didn't want anyone looking because I was a bit nervous, not having jumped since my fall with PF, and we only jumped up to about 90cm. A has been exercised by my friend José, and TBH he's been a bit tense and buzzy the few times I've seen him ride, and he's been a complete GIT to jump; charging at all the fences like a big orange rhino! However, he was so good and calm today, I was sure we'd be OK and he'd look after me... I was right. I did hang on to his mane a few times but he was a very good boy

Brill, glad you enjoyed it and had a good experience. Maybe he sensed you were nervous and decided to be a good boy?

 

[PapaFrita]

LOL! Maybe, but I don't really think he's that clever

Actually, he's always been much calmer with me than other riders. I expect because he's known me longer

Well done! Its such a good feeling isnt it? I had the same problem a while back on my old mare and one day i quickly popped a small cross pole when no one was looking and was so proud of myself!

He knows his mummy, obviously

But are you supposed to be jumping yet? Please be careful!!

Well... technically I'm not supposed to be falling off...

I've not asked the dr specifically about jumping, but don't worry; this is it for while; I just wanted to see if I'd lost my nerve. I'll not be doing any 'proper' jumping for a while yet

Thanks. Actually, I ache a bit now but I don't think it was the jumping that did it. Might've been my rucksack. I'll have to put it on the back of the motorbike instead of lugging it around on my shoulders
