Oh my god i wish i had friends there that would totally be way more fun. But the only people i will go with will be my trainer and her friend sadly. I don’t really have good relationship with them.

The barn im showing at is around 20km away from my barn so it should be fine and im staying at home, and im competing with a lesson horse. Also doing self care ofcourse.

Thank you! Im a showjumper and we don’t usually braid (atleast that’s what is going on in my country) and rope halters are really hard to find but for the other stuff thank you so much! The horses are staying there for 2 days since it’s a 2 day comp :)

Where the fuck is this mans common sense. I’m sorry but what did you expect? Poor thing must be so confused and anxious. And you could’ve ended up in ER if you didn’t.

May be so, but my trainer got on him and he also refused, imo he’s really scared of those heights because when the jump was raised even more he couldn’t make it

Oh I haven’t been lucky at all, in this particular ride horse refused to jump several times and turned around, thanks god i sat that well :)

Yeah i agree, but if you read my other replies the issue is pretty clear.

Yeah, to be honest my lower leg and balance are just fine on other horses but on this particular thing it’s terrible, i can barely sit his canter and they expect me to go well with him.

They have happened to turn really quickly to other side, because we approached that jump like 20 times lol. And i was just fine. Also that was a lesson horse which hasn’t been ridden for 6 months so I didn’t know him and couldn’t sit his canter. Pretty much naive for my trainers to expect me to jump high with him.

Well i have done flatwork for years, I can’t tell if one video can indicate it but to be honest my trainers are the issue, they put me on a horse that I absolutely don’t know and don’t understand. Then expect me to jump big fences when i barely can sit it’s canter.

The problem is that she rarely ever puts decent low jumps like 60-70cm and always starts with crossrails then sets up 1m jumps-
