not a good start to 2007 :'(

[ooo_banana]

I tried a martingle on jasmine today as she sticks her head up and takes of with me i was schooling her then mother put up a jump, fine first two times then the next time i ended up on the floor
and then got back on and poped her over a little crossed.
but no i just feel like all the trust has gone that i've only just got for her. as when i first got her we didnt clicked at all and it was so hard for me to trust her but i did and now this and i actually didnt want to get back on her asgain and i feel like i did when i first had her

..and i'm chickening out of riding her yomorrow and riding this pony who reminds me of charm

Oh Nay that's a shame when you were feeling so much better about her

Why did you end up on the floor? Did she mean to have you off or was it just an accident? If I remember rightly she's part arab so a high headcarriage may be normal for her & something you have to learn to cope with to a degree - tanking off is a no-no though!

Try to get on her again in the next day or so otherwise you'll end up blowing this out of all proportion & convince yourself you can't ride her. Remember it took you a while to really get the hang of Charm but in the end you found her easy & rode her really well so don't get too down about not clicking with Jasmine straight away.

Have a good ride on the other pony tomorrow - anyone I know? And I love the new sig ;D

lol thankies:D
it's blue, jess whitehouse's pony! charms twin!!
umm well we were going towards the jump after it had been put up abit and she's quite sharp and ducked out at the last minute but she felt like she had enough impulsion going into it though.
she sticks her head up when jumping [the last three strides she just flattens and goes] and when she gets excited..
