*WARNING!*
This is a self indulgent rant!
I hate this time of year, every winter I totally wuss out of jumping and it really frustrates me!
I know it's because I don't ride as much due to weather and the light but still! Grr!
I set up three jumps in the school, warmed up and then stopped to shorten my stirrups - Otto's ears flicked back to me and I could feel him getting excited (ooh! Jumpies!!). Picked up canter, chose the smallest and he jumped it beautifully! A textbook jump....and then I wuss out and couldn't jump any more! Somebody please give me a shake and tell me to put my big girl pants on and get on with it!
