Haha my old trainer made me start out doing "bounces" or pretty close to it. On my horse gem who had never jumped before in his life, and I had only jumped maybe 5 times in my life on small jumps

It is difficult to tell with the angle and lighting. I would suggest you shorten your stirrups a hole or two.

Allison Finch: just wondering. Why shorten my stirrups?

I was told to shorten my stirrups too. Hahaha. I can't really explain why, but I know why in my head. XD

Ok! I will try to shorten them. My stirrups are wierd and its hard to get them at the right length. But I will try. Anybody else?

Oh! Well done, only thing I can say is go with him a bit more and put your stirrups up a bit! I know the jumps are only small but it would be good if you got used to ballancing yourself over them a bit more rather than using your seat as a landing mat! Great though, all I can say is carry on and your confidance will build :)

^ ok thank you! I am probably going to have to get different stirrup leathers. :) Anyone else?

Other than that , looks good

^ thank you :)
