Oh I agree, I don't see any reason a 6 year old can't be jumping bigger heights if it's balanced walk/trot/canter both reins As long as the rider is capable/balanced. |
i think that if you're having trouble jumping wise, it'll all relate back to flatwork. i doubt that a horse truly sees much difference in 60cm and 90cm except that they need to pick their feet up more...if she's scared then something has gone wrong training-wise |
um theres nothing wrong with her jumping or her flat work
neither of us are confident enuff just yet but we'll get there as long as neither of us are pushed

The things you do at D level you should still be doing at any level - all are based on safe correct handling and skills. So it should not be a problem at all. As an examiner I don't expect more experienced riders to revert to D level answers just because they are more experienced. The exam is always conducted at the level of the certificate and riders who offer higher level answers are not penalised. It often means that we can say in the sum up that the rider is well on the way to achieving a higher level certificate. |
i was doing a quick sign off with marilyn cooper and the answers i gave her were more wat u'd say at C level or more so she told me just to make it more simple coz i didnt need to say it for D

Its good that you have a lot of theoretical knowledge because you will find it easier to understand at the time when you ride the higher level movements. Sometimes its fun to go and have a lesson or two on a higher level horse at it helps you to develop feel. Bringing a young pony on is very rewarding especially when you look back and see what you have achieved. Riding a more advanced pony occasionally helps you to recognise when your schooling is going right. |
yea me and the beast are getting our D+ this weekend yay
shes getting soo much better but im not ready to push her
i did a rally on my friends pony
that was fun and so much easier then trying to control her at coateville but for some reason she really likes rosedale so is much easier to handle there then cv

Agree with this 100%
I've brought Angel on since she was backed, and I sought of got stuck in a rut coz I hadn't ridden any horses with more experience for a while, then when I was at telford I was riding a well schooled dressage horse and it's healped SO much with Angel. Even my seat changed enough that when I got onto Angel she went STRAIGHT into a rounder frame (she'd always worked with her nose out) and was even lighter off my aids PERFECT.

Lollie RR Vice President (26559) | Jezz<3, you do realise that not everyone has a lovely little schoolmaster like you??
*mysty's black socks*, I feel your pain - I had a 3 year old at pony club for more than the first half of the season, so couldn't jump at all, and then when she turned 4 I was only allowed to jump 60cm or something like teeny tiny like that. And then I gave up on PC so I just have my D  WOOT GO ME! I'd been riding for like 6 months before I started PC??
