That was really interesting. So glad that you have such great help with Freddie.

Thank you, I am super grateful to Harry! 😃

[@patriciaemms1902]

You have done exactly the right thing, if you were feeling nervous then Freddy would get that from you, let him regain his confidence that jumping is not stressing or painful then you will be a different rider xx

[@eventing.sir.freddles]

Thank you! Absolutely - I’m now looking forward to having a jump after seeing him loving it a few times and not worrying about it 😄 xx

Freddles has got some pop in him!! How high were thise jumps??!!! 💖💖

[@eventing.sir.freddles]

Haha he is very cool! These were around 1m - 1.05. He was flying around 1.15m with Harry last week. They can go back down to 95cm when I have a go soon haha! X

Sometimes, when you feel you've lost confidence, it's wise to get someone else to ride your horse so you can actually see what's going on. You're being very wise here. Letting Harry take him on. To take him to a few shows, let him get his feet wet again with jumping with someone more experienced, then take lessons to get your confidence back. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this year, we'll be seeing you do an 80 cm course!! I think that would be bloody brilliant!! I know how hard it is when you've lost confidence in yourself, but Freddie showed no signs of a sore back at all. He was actually taking Harry to the fences!! Which is a good thing. It shows he's still keen to jump!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Absolutely! I’m so glad I did 😃 I just had a jump on him and popped round a little 85/90 course with no problems, it was SO lovely! Thanks Jenn 🥰 x

[@jenniferlehman326]

@eventing.sir.freddles I'm so chuffed to hear that!! Remember, everyone who jumps horses has lost confidence at some point. And I do mean EVERYONE!! There are 2 things you have to remember. 1. BREATHE and 2. Have fun!! Those are the only things you have to remember to do. And everything will come right with time the more you jump. So you only jump 80 and 90 cm. Who cares!! You're having fun and so is Freddles!! And that's all that matters! Jenn 💖

Ah, it must have been fab seeing him popping those fences! It will give you so much confidence knowing he can do it after seeing it....looking forward to when you're back on board and gaining that confidence.

[@eventing.sir.freddles]

Definitely!! It’s helped me mentally so much! We had a jump yesterday and both loved it 😃😃
