I really like your videos but if I may I'd like to offer a word of advice: work on your take-off point. It seems like you just rush your horse towards the fence and don't wait for the fence to come to you. Most riders that keep getting left behind in the saddle have this problem because they haven't practiced how to properly approach a jump. Sit back in the saddle, feel your horses pace, calculate the remaining strides and re-adjust your tempo if you have to. It's not easy but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to jump any horse and much higher fences.
vballaddict91 Thanks for being a kind human being. Most people try and teach her how to ride but Alex is perfectly capable. U on the other hand were lovely about it. Thankoyu
Have you ever thought about coming to Bovington Equestrian? It's an amazing stables in Dorset :) may be a bit out of your way and I don't know where you live but anywayz 😊❤️ love your channel by the way 💙
I love your account so much!! I plan to one day be as good as ride you are! My horse and I just need to become more confident(mainly me) do you have any tips on how to gain confidence when it comes to riding??
BeautyByCarly Just lots of practice really to help you get your balance in the half seat. Try it in walk first before going onto trot and canter (and remember to keep those shoulders rolled back in case you need to snap back into full seat suddenly). It can help you to balance if you have your feet a bit further forward than you would normally for riding dressage too. Good luck - I hope that help. :)
+cicilie bekker defiantly not :) it can actually be quite difficult, if you don't have a horse that will just do it all for you :) like in some videos you can see Pigeon can be quite temperamental towards jumps, but she works her through it :)
I am in love with that brow band, Ms. Pigeon!

2019?
Omg I go there btw im a huge fan
Which gopro do you have?:)
Nessa Madden Just an old GoPro HD Helmet Hero 2. Thanks for watching! ;-)
You did really well and the height of jumps was quiet big! Does she over jump sometimes because it looked like she did at one stage?
Horsey Mint She does like to go on a holy f**k stride sometimes... I think she just likes to tell me she is feeling good some days! :)
Where is this please 😀
What should be my highest jump? I've been riding for 2 years. (The highest jump i've done is just under 2 foot)
A Horse Called Pigeon Just out of curiosity, how old is Pigeon? She seems like a treasure of a horse to own and ride, love your videos! x
Viktorie Licková Thank you!!! Pigeon just turned 17 believe it or not... she doesn't act her age :) x
I was wondering if you have any tips for cantering half seat? I usually ride full seat but my trainer said she would like to see more half seat.

Wha height are those jumps
This was the 100cm (3"3') group but some are a bit over and some a bit under. Thanks for watching :)
Is it easy to be a jumping rider?
No
+cicilie bekker defiantly not :) it can actually be quite difficult, if you don't have a horse that will just do it all for you :) like in some videos you can see Pigeon can be quite temperamental towards jumps, but she works her through it :)
+Equine Lovin' it's true it's is not easy
