Im doing my first EVER show next Friday (feb 11) and I was wondering how to WOW the judges! My trainer wont let me show above 12 stinkin' inches at a trot even tho I have jumped over 2"3. Oh well. So any advice on how to get good points :) Im doing Flat class [Walk, Trot, Canter] in a ring with TWELVE other riders :( and Jumping alone. The part one of jumping is 4 "12 inch jumps (one on each corner if that makes sense). then one jump in each corner and one in the center. But now im rambling. thanks ;) part. 1 X X Part 2 X X X X X X X

just look happy and if something does wrong just smile it always helps, just do what you can and try not to over complicate things as thats where it goes wrong :) x hope it goes well x
