Had a GREAT riding lesson yesterday! I normally have a flatwork lesson but decided to go for a jumping one for a change. Was riding my normal horse, who I've never actually jumped before, and he was just great. It was only a tiny course with a couple of doubles and a spread - nothing that impressive, I was whizzing around when a couple of years ago I would have been petrified and I credit that to my lovely instructor and the amazing horses at the RS.

I've been like this :D all day!

Incidentally, I'd be interested to know how big I was jumping as I have no idea of this sort of thing :o It was probably about between the filler and the first pole on this one:

ETA - I wanted my title all in capitals but it hasn't let me :(

Thanks - that's kind of what I thought. I was trying desperately to measure it against my RI and then guess how tall she was :o
