She isn’t very good with older horses so we have to be very careful with her. Gets very scared. The Shetland is very much hers now and deemed non threatening.
Pity about the weather. As someone who is a keen fan of horses bred for the track (both Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds) it's interesting to watch the progress of horses bred for eventing.
Robbie is pretty much TB - has a tiny dash of ID, but it’s fascinating to me how his canter is very different and his jump. Nova has the least TB in him out of our mixed bag and it definitely shows.
I could see a big difference from round 1 to 2 for Janice. I am not an experienced show jumper, but notice Janice is more often out of the saddle in canter, more hunter style, and leaning forward. Watching other jumpers, they seem to be more upright, shoulders back etc. Is this just her style or am I not seeing it right. Nice to see Nova looking good after his accident.
Hi- Jancis here- this light seat is just how I have been trained because it's a very soft way of allowing the horse to use itself. I do have a bad habit of then throwing my body too much over the fence, but I'm trying to work on that…. Old habits die hard!
@@theeventingjourney232 I was taught to ride in forward seat when jumping, it was to allow the horse to use it's back, and hind legs. I've no idea why the more upright/behind the vertical seat came into fashion. I'll go with my muscle memory and stick to forward seat!! 🙂
Could not stop laughing at Eris and the Shetland pony!! 😂😂😂 My horse would have climbed over the fence to get away!!

@@theeventingjourney232 my horse doesn't like small ponies!! Nearly fainted when he saw a 12.2 coming towards him! 🤣 He's such an embarrassment!!!

@theeventingjourney232 thanks for that Janice. I enjoy watching your journey. Hope the weather improves so everyone can get out and about.
