She seems to be on her best behaviour at the moment and once again didn't put a foot wrong! Had another play with the jumps, still keeping it pretty simple for her. She was really good and finished with a 3ft straight which even then she still seemed to find stupidly easy lol this mare jumps for fun!
I comitted a bit of a sin though, at the start when the jumps were small she was struggling with the distance so i shortened it and left it like that, when we put them up i didn't even think about it but it then became too short for her and since she's not good at shortening her stride yet it was a bit tight which is why her jump is a bit odd, she was struggling to snap her leg up in time :ashamed: Despite this she gave it a good go!
Some pics, don't be too harsh, i can count on one hand the amount of times i've jumped this year so we're both a bit rusty!

what do you think? Planning a winter full of grid work to improve technique and sharpen us both up but for now i'm thrilled with her, she's got a super attitude :D
