- This is an Easter weekend which went to plan for some horses and did not go to plan for others. As everyone knows, the weather has been absolutely miserable which has not helped things.
Robbie goes showjumping and does the 70cm and 80cm. He was less noisy and jumped round a decent up to height 80cm with all the fillers with great confidence.
We have horses moving yards as they have picked up injuries and Jancis jumps a course with Nova. Hopefully the video of Nova will help others as we all know that we want an uphill canter which is in balance and small tweaks can make or break this.
Sadly the planned weekend of eventing did not happen due to all the rain that we continue to have.
Could not stop laughing at Eris and the Shetland pony!! 😂😂😂 My horse would have climbed over the fence to get away!!
She isn’t very good with older horses so we have to be very careful with her. Gets very scared. The Shetland is very much hers now and deemed non threatening.
@@theeventingjourney232 my horse doesn't like small ponies!! Nearly fainted when he saw a 12.2 coming towards him! 🤣 He's such an embarrassment!!!
Pity about the weather. As someone who is a keen fan of horses bred for the track (both Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds) it's interesting to watch the progress of horses bred for eventing.
Robbie is pretty much TB - has a tiny dash of ID, but it’s fascinating to me how his canter is very different and his jump. Nova has the least TB in him out of our mixed bag and it definitely shows.
I could see a big difference from round 1 to 2 for Janice. I am not an experienced show jumper, but notice Janice is more often out of the saddle in canter, more hunter style, and leaning forward. Watching other jumpers, they seem to be more upright, shoulders back etc. Is this just her style or am I not seeing it right. Nice to see Nova looking good after his accident.
Hi- Jancis here- this light seat is just how I have been trained because it's a very soft way of allowing the horse to use itself. I do have a bad habit of then throwing my body too much over the fence, but I'm trying to work on that…. Old habits die hard!
@theeventingjourney232 thanks for that Janice. I enjoy watching your journey. Hope the weather improves so everyone can get out and about.
@@theeventingjourney232 I was taught to ride in forward seat when jumping, it was to allow the horse to use it's back, and hind legs. I've no idea why the more upright/behind the vertical seat came into fashion. I'll go with my muscle memory and stick to forward seat!! 🙂
