    I think with someone giving you confidence on the ground you will be away. He’s great when he’s got a job on! Lovely introduction to grass for him, well done both of you !

    I think you did well! It is more important to give youngsters good experiences and teach them to be calm than to do a lot.

      @@NotTooLateEventing Iknow how it is. I have a youngster too, techically. She's 6 but still very green and everything is like pulling teeth with her, unlike other youngsters I've had. So for me it is patience with her and her needing time and confidence, here you need confidence and for that to happen you'll need time, so uting that time to give good experiences... best thing you can do.

    Nothing wrong with starting slow and steady - we don’t all start jumping at badminton heights 😜
    What a fantastic journey you’ve got ahead of you, it’s a helluva lot of fun! I got my first horse off the track 3 years ago after begging my mum for one since I could talk, and now my mum also got her own horse last year since having us kids 20+ years ago. She’s also started her eventing journey (at 57!) and is competing at her first event in August - our adult pony club is hosting a First Start competition and she’s entered the 45cm! It’s been 3 years and I’m still pottering around the same height, it doesn’t matter how big the jumps are as long as you’re confident and having fun!
    Can I offer some advice? It’s much easier to jump out of trot if you have more impulsion coming to the fence, and it’s much harder to get left behind if you sit the last two-three strides before jumping! I hate trot-jumping too but we do it for a good reason unfortunately 😂
    Much love from New Zealand! Can’t wait to see more 😘

      @@Track2HackStandardbreds wow starting at 57 is so cool! I was actually thinking the same thing recently- I’m trying to ride until take off which is why I hate it. Makes so much sense- thank you. Give me a line of tempo changes and I’m good but this?! 😂
