Jumping 3’9″ for first time

My friend wanted me to post this video of her and her jumper mare -Fancy, 6yo TB mare – in hopes that the judges would give her some feed back :)

First Jumper Show

So this is me on my friends horse – A Tickling Fancy – a 6yo TB mare. Ive posted a couple videos of us schooling before (just popping over the odd vertical when I could) and this is a photo from my first Jumper show. It was my first time doing a full course with her and she was awesome :) I am not trained for the jumper ring, I much prefer the hunter ring but it was fun and a nice change :) and I stayed on soo…yay! lol

I believe this was the clear round and she was over jumping most of the jumps. I have a good Idea of the pros and cons of it all but I’d still like to hear what the judges think :)

Please critique Rider and horse :)

 

Almost fall

First show of the season back in 2010. Our first trip was beautiful, well up until I my leg came off coming down a line and he ran out.
Needless to say I’ve learneda my lesson lol. BUT! how I managed to stay on, I haven’t the slightest idea. I thought for sure I was going to eat dirt and saw it coming. As soon as I straightened myself up I realized my right shoulder was popped out of place so I had to finish the trip with a shoulder popped out of place. But  take o2 to this jump was a lot more successful lol

hammering on the breaks

Riding the Fancy Mare

 

My friend Angel had a spill last week and was still feeling the pain, so on monday she asked me to ride her mare for her in her lesson :)
fancy is a 6yo turning 7, 15hh TB :) She’s still green and has much yet to learn. As for myself .. I am not a jumper lol, Im a hunter and this the most jumping I’ve done since December :)

This first video she refused the Canada jump – she always refuses it the first time and is fine the next. We’re still working on leads so shes disunited in the back end.

the second jump … I think its when I lost my balance over the jump. She came in tight and jumped off her forehand instead of her back and it caught me off guard :P lol

in the last… sorry about the commentary lol.
