I have been jumping in the field!!!!! We put up a few tiny jumps, and me and Harvz popped over afew. He kept really galloping at them towards the gate tho, and that made it worse. I was shaking like mad, so decided to only jump away from the gate. I stopped shaking and kept jumping. Had the jump up to 2ft 3 (maybe, not really sure ) and had stopped shaking. I got Alex (cantlivwithoutim) and Indy to stand on the other side, and i Jumped it 4 or 5 times and stopped shaking ;D I'm dead chuffed with myself as i stopped shaking before i even jumped the big fence ;D (I was shaking when i put it up tho, i could hardly put the pins in : and found that i was pushing Harvey on, rather than letting him do it all himself ;D

I can't believe the cheek of your instructor especially as she knew about the fall! Great way to boost someone's self esteem I'd avoid the pony club for a while if I were you and find another instructor who appreciates the nervous rider. There are lots out there. Well done for continuing with your jumping. I find I have much more confidence jumping if someone is around. I'll only jump about 2'3 on my own. What your doing I'd say is the best way to increase your confidence levels. Just don't push yourself too much. Only do what you feel happy with. And once again well done for continuing Pezza x

PS Bumble, we are never going to agree on what happened that day. i know i am a stubborn sod , but i jump when i feel confident enough to do so, not when someone else tries to force me to jump stupidly high when i don't feel up to it. Ok pezza but if jump was stupidly high dont think me and ed would have jumped it bumble xx
