After the Jumps dressage was cancelled due to lack of entries I spotted that they were also running SJ yesterday. I've never took C out SJ before - he did one clear round at North Lanarkshire last year and we did JumpX a couple of weeks ago but this was our first comp and also only our second solo outing! JumpX has done wonders for my confidence - if you'd told me a few weeks ago I'd be brave enough to go out on my own and enter a SJ class I'd have laughed in your face. We only did baby classes - 50cm and 60cm (although it looked about 65cm). C was such a good boy - jumped 3 rounds and only had 2 poles down in total. He loved it - you could see him really pick up when he realised he was getting to jump! Hoping to do some more fun SJ comps in the summer just to give him a good balance (he's good at dressage and showing but he thinks they are sooooooo boooooooring!! ;D)

That's fabby! Sounds like your confidence is growing by the minute, so well done you!!! I find it does them the world of good to get out & about doing different stuff to keep them interested. My bay cob has decided he doesnt want to be a show horse, he wants to be a showjumper - quite funny when he gets all jazzed up & excited when he gets to go do jumpies!!! ;D

It's so disappointing when you get all geared up for something and it's cancelled, but that was good you got to have fun jumping instead
