[br]I think the last time Rosie was jumping indoors was 16 years ago when she was 4 and I was competing with her!
Chelle took her out today - Michelles first time indoors.

The first class, Michelle had a rare refusal but she was adult enough to admit it was rider error -she'd taken a bad line (we're all human & can make a mistake).

Anyway the next class, 95 cm, she certainly redeemed herself.
Went clear in the first round then the course builder really upped the jumps in the jump-off as they decided to cancel the 'Open'.

[red]OMG the jumps were HUGE!!![/red]

I told Michelle to get her in a nice bouncy canter, plenty of leg on, but NOT to go against the clock - just aim for a clear round.

Inwardly, I was thinking 'these jumps are too huge & Rosie will not get around' - ye of little faith!!
Anyway she was one of only 2 riders to go clear and ended up 2nd place!!!
Well done Chelle & Rosie!

It took me a while at the beginning of this season to work out the heights in old money!!! 95 cm in old money is just over 3 ft.
