Jumping. I find dressage boring, no offence to anyone! I will quite happily ride flat work at home as dressage helps Forest with jumping but I'm not interseted in competing in dressage!
I will quite happily compete in jumping as thats where my heart is and thats what Forest likes doing!

I like them both to be honest.
With showjumping there is such ana adrenaline rush and it is sooo much fun for both horse and rider.
Dressage is a lot more low key but I love the feeling of working so well together and having your horse listen to you. It does require a lot of concentration though so it does get a bit tiring.
If I HAD to choose on though it would be jumping (prefer XC to SJ)

dare i say it but had a quick look at prelim 1 yesterday, just the once and already know it off by heart

999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999....... "some 999's later"........999,999,999,999,999% pure amazingness!
Neither - HACKING ! Best of both worlds - leg yield around the parked cars and jump the fallen logs whilst enjoying some nice scenery and some peace and quiet ! But if you forced me it would probably be showjumping - my attention span is short unless there is a lot of adrenalin involved so i'd probably get bored halfway through a dressage test and wander out

Showjumping any day
Have only done 1 dressage test and after going up the centre line and I wanted out of there straight away! My legs were quaking so badly!
Trotting up the centre line and jumping over the boards at A wasn't the best start admittedly and may have affected this somewhat...

from a self confessed jump-a-holic, it has to be showjumping all the way.
True it can be pompous and over competitive, but the sensation of soaring over those coloured poles is unrivaled.
I also find dressage boring, but i know its hard and requires patience so i cant judge!
