How High Can We Go???

Pipstar* · 04-01-2006, 02:00 AM

Ok, so i wasn't really sure where to put this, so i thought that seeing as you'll be looking at pics and saying what you think that i would put it in critique. Sorry if this is wrong... i've seen other people asking this before:
I was just wondering if maybe you could guess or say how high you think my new mare Summer and i could go in jumping? This is us jumping 3 feet or 90cm. What do you think? And could you also critique both of us? Do you think we'd be ok in shows etc? So this is us bareback and in a halter. Summer is a 12 year old, ex racehorse, 15.3hh chestnut TB mare.

well you both look great, if your flatwork is balanced between fences, as it obviously must be as you both make a lovely shape over these fences, you could definitly have a go at doing some competitions.

i think you to look good together an as long as you can jump a course of 2'6 or more then you will be fine at shows

also i think you will find that she will be able to jump pretty big!! 1.30

Pipstar* · 04-01-2006, 03:28 AM

cool! Thanx. Yes, we are doing dressage too, and she is going really well. When i first got her she always rushed (really badly) between jumps, but now she is great! Yep, we can do a course of 3 feet. Thanx guys! Really? 1m30....

cassidy · 04-01-2006, 03:29 AM

yes my 15.2 cassidy was athletic an i jumped him 1.30 not a course but in a grid!! but still what an achievement

Pipstar* · 04-01-2006, 03:32 AM
