First Horse Show! :D 8/8/10 Includes fall! (I actully fell off three times)

Me and Princess at my first show! :D
I fell off twice in the warmup, and once while I was competing. The in the video was the third fall. The first fall was caused by Princess jumping higher than she need to, and the other two were from refusals.
Princess didn't know what to think about the hay bales, which is why she refused them the most. Actually, while we were warming up, she took one in her mouth and carried it around for a few steps. :L lol
Overall, I think I did pretty well for my first show, even though there were several refusals and I fell off 3 times. I really don't care if other people think I'm a horrible rider :)
But hey, I won two ribbons! :D And $1. But, even if I hadn't won anything, I still would've been happy because I tried hard, I had fun, and me and Princess's bond grew stronger.

You looked great!! I fell at my first show too, and all my pony did was bolt, and turn, and I was on the ground :L So don't feel bad! You looked really good apart from the fall =) With a little more experiance, you will be great!

@XxHorsexObsessionxX

Thanks! :D

did not look too bad, i have seen plenty of horses spook and refuse at shows. I have a few Green horses i show and I am always falling off at shows, with greens you never know how the horse will act and react.

No one is a true rider till they have fallen at least one time, so falling 3 times, must make you great! haha keep it up you can only get better from here!

@sop1toalto2

Thank you! :D

I wouldn't say Princess is green, but she is a little bit at jumping, which explains all of the refusals. :)

Now I've fallen off 7 times haha. :)

you should use more leg on either side to stop her running out of fences she doesn't like, also make sure you have a clear line up to your jump, that way it gives the horse less of a chance to run out:) but great riding your horse is gorgeous and your position is good!

[BethanHorseMad]

wow, how do you jump with such long stirrups?! i put mine up 3 holes for jumping :)

[YanellaSwe]

You must identify the horse better. And more speed! .. Otherwise good:)

What a cute pony! Nice job getting her over the jumps she didn't want to go over esp that bale one if she was getting looking at it! Good job keeping with her when loosing your stirrups too! You guys honestly make a nice horse and rider pair!

[sassymypony]

[horseluver4ever129]

haha, you lost your stirrups, but dont feel bad or anything, you still jumped! that happens to me all the time, i ride a green poy and he always does unexpected things, i went fo an outside line and i lost bothe stirrups and jumped them both as i would if i had stirrups, now my trainer is thinking about letting me jump bareback lol, and how old r u? u dont have to tell me just wondering
