Our next show jumping is the 31st as they decided not to run it today. Thankfully will give us plenty time to make some adjustments and see if we can improve ❤
I did wonder why you put her in the bit when your practice day was beautiful?? She fights the bit as soon as you put pressure on her rein, anyway I thought the both of you had lots of confidence, well done.she is looking lovely also❤
I didn't think we were ready to do a course bitless and we didn't have a proper bridle at this point. It was this show where I decided to get one as I hadn't been so sure if it was working due to lack of steering and she was getting stronger by the end.
@@nicoladunn7647 there isn't many reliable ones in my area. I have been in touch with expert Bits and they have me on the list for when they come this way so hopefully not be too long. Keeping my eyes open for others in the meantime though 😁x
Have you considered a standing martingale instead of a running martingale? I thought she went better without the running martingale as it changes the action of the bit where a standing would only stop her from throwing her head up.
@@DeborahCo-d2h no, I'd rather not put that type of restriction on her but I also think she would be a lot worse as she doesn't like any pressure on her head and if she had that she would fight it with pulling higher and then freak up because she can't escape it. She's a sensitive sole. I know exactly where you're coming from though.

Good girl
@@angelaclements1244 she sure is 😁
You’re doing a great job. Have you thought about contacting a bit expert to come and access her perhaps x
