Jumped for the First Time

Now this may not seem too terribly exciting for those of you who have been doing it for ages, but I jumped my first couple of cross rails today......:P My instructor put me on an old schoolmaster horse who was point and shoot and he took real good care of me. It was a blast... Once I get a better feel for it, I'll be riding my own horse over them. I love days like this with horses, when your confidence soars!!!
I sympathize with those who post about loss of confidence, God knows mine comes and goes.

congrats!! good for you! I remember my first jump to this very day. I was just as excited as you are. Once you learn the more 'intricate details' of jumping, you'll be having a blast bobbing around a course and whatnot.

Any pictures?
