Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum although I have been lurking for a while picking up hints and tips!

I'm sooo excited! I had my first go at jumping today and I loved it! I started having lessons in April for a couple of months then spent a couple of months hacking and practising everything.

Recently I decided to have another few lessons... my fourth one was today and I did some little jumps... woo hoo!! Can wait to go back. :D

Also can't believe how unscary it was (although I'm sure this will change as the jumps get bigger!) :)
