And we are off.....

I met my new jump trainer Juliet Cottey yesterday and had our first jumping lesson with Eager B. Despite the fact she was half asleep (Eager not Juliet), I believe it was a resounding success.  Nothing too complicated, nothing over jumped.  Everything done in Eager style :-)

Juliet was great, she asked me a about a few things I was doing, raising my hand etc.  She wasn't critical just curious.  So I think we have our new jump trainer! 

She loved Eager (let's face it... who doesn't) and was highly complementary of her balance and rhythmic paces (lol these are not an accident) and could see why I am thinking of getting back eventing. Although she agreed 7 years out is a long time and may be tricky.  Let's see how we go. Certainly the lack of over jumping everything, unlike the big man makes me feel very much at ease. :-)

Next lesson is booked for the 13 May and I am hoping to have them at least every two weeks.  Having received quite a bit of cash for my birthday, I have stuck it in a pot to pay her with.  This should hopefully see me through the summer!  When for obvious reasons it will have to go to weekends only.
