I really agree with what you are saying about the flatwork side of jumping. People just seem to want to jump high these days and have no concept of what is going on between the fences.
> And I've got a 1931 Martin and Martin sidesaddle, with an RAF inventory stamp on it, but no sidesaddle ready horse right now. I learned in order to keep the side saddle division in our local show circuit viable, and it was a revelation!
Before a couple of years ago I'd only ridden side saddle a couple of times, but now my horse has proved himself on the hunter circuit I thought I'd give something else a try. Last year I bought a 1933 Meyhew (sp?) saddle, its lovely but needs a little adjusting before it fits him perfectly. I like to try new things out and meet new people - maybe I'll be carriage driving or something in a few years!
I find that being with the horses is the only thing that really takes my mind away from things. I can get so into how they are going etc that everything else disappears.
Its really wierd talking about horses on here, don't you think? I haven't posted much on here recently, maybe I should become a regular again!
