i've started jumping and my form, timing, etc. is improving every lesson. but its getting on my nerves how my instructor will only let me go over one jump. im currently sitting the trot up to the jump then cantering out of the jump. but in 2 of my lessons she let me do 2 jumps in a row. what i dont get is why we're back to doing only one jump? is it becuase im riding a different horse now. the horse i rode previoulsy had been a nervous/spooky thoroughbred who was difficult but not as much as the new horse im riding who is a Quarter Pony but like 10 times as difficult but not spooky/nervous. in a way i like the new horse im riding becuase she is such a challenge she prevents me from worrying about the jump but more on controling her. has this happened to anyone else where they were kind of degraded to a lower level?
