So pleased - jumped again tonight and am actually getting somewhere, jumping confidence is definitely on it's way back :D
The horse I rode has recently been brought back in to work and hadn't jumped for 18 months, my RI didn't mention that until I was 2 strides out of the first jump :eek: He did jump big and we had a few messy take off's but it felt great. Did some spreads, and ended on a 2ft 9ish parallel. I know it's not exactly massive but it looked it to me!
I usually much prefer riding ponies but this was on a 16.2hh ish medium build gelding, bit different to my 13.3hh share pony or the RS ponies I usually jump :)
Anyway - after a rubbish day at work am feeling all cheery :D
