I'm doing a show tomorrow, and have entered the 2 foot 9 jumping. I'm a nervous jumper, have never jumped the horse I'm riding, have only ridden him once on the flat, and haven't done a course in about 3 years! I'm so scared! :eek:

My jumping has improved loads though (haven't done anything over 2 foot 3 in a bit though) so am going to just try and take it as lots of individual jumps.

Horsey is a good little jumper so I'm sure he'll look after me!

I did it!! Well I actually fell off but I still got round, I'm so thrilled! All the jumps were fine, I even did a gate, a water jump and a really big spread! Unfortunately the triple (or do I mean treble? 3 jumps anyway!) was just too hard for someone as inexperienced at jumping as me. The 1st time I ended up on K's withers after the 2nd element, the 2nd time I fell off! They put it down for me so I could have another go and we cleared it and they let me finish off the course which I managed to do really well. I'm just so pleased that I held my nerve and got through it, despite the fall!

I also did the clear round and went clear :D
