Hi,
You might have read that I am pregnant and have doing other things with Mollie. Lunging, raised poles, long reining and recently introducing small jumps back in. She is very keen to jump, she trots well before them (knows there coming) without using a whip. However she seems to jump uneven - by this i mean 1) not jumping in the middle of the jump (no matter how much direction I give) normally to the left side 2) jumps too early, so i put up a posting pole which seems to make it worse!! 3) doesnt bring up her back legs enough. 4) if doesnt jump too early jumps to late, looks down at the jump and does a mini skip before jumping over.
so what can i do?? just carry on and hope that she will improve? or is there anything in particular i can do to build her up to it?
When she has a rider on her back she is more in the middle of the jump and seems more confident but still throws herself over the jump.
i really want to get her jumping better when I have had the piblet I can get on jumping alot quicker without us both being so unbalanced.
HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!!!
