I know chrome can be a pain but he is lovely! <br /><br />I have never been an evener - though I do love to school cross country and often take what I deem as baby dressage lessons - but... I did do some low level jumper classes last summer with my last horse and it was a blast! I had so much fun. I found the courses to be a lot of fun but definitely more of a challenge to memorize (coming from hunter land). <br /><br />Not every discipline is right for every horse and rider combo. I have never tried to ride a test but just thinking about it makes stress out. I think that there are a lot of people might feel that way about dressage or the reverse and about jumping. I vote do whatever makes you happiest! This is after all supposed to be FUN :)Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884053627728391449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814819670145509787.post-69249362782430776612012-05-21T17:25:23.871-04:002012-05-21T17:25:23.871-04:00One of the eventers at our barn just switched over...One of the eventers at our barn just switched over to jumpers. Her horse made it very clear that while he has a ton of scope and is fine at dressage, he hates being alone out on XC. They are having a blast in the jumpers. <br /><br />The other jumper advantage is that if you fall off in one class, you just hop back on and do your next class. You aren't disqualified from the whole show.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814819670145509787.post-86670268458141169482012-05-20T19:16:46.439-04:002012-05-20T19:16:46.439-04:00Test-riding is a skill in its own right and it'...Test-riding is a skill in its own right and it's certainly something you could practice, study, and get better at, if you wanted to.<br /><br />Of course, if you don't want to and/or it's not worth it to you, there's nothin' wrong with deciding to do something else instead! :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237668899993749427noreply@blogger.com
