Finishing the year with a bit of showjumping

So, as the weather has been so wet - fairly mild temperatures for this time of year - but wet, we have hired the indoor arena twice to try and practice our showjumping.  Never been my strongest phase, made more difficult by a horse that is a bit green for her age and sometimes decides at the last minute she cant be bothered.  My biggest problem is general control between the jumps - I can bring her back to trot and continue but as soon as I try continue in canter it all becomes a bit quick.

The second thing we tackled was fillers.   She still decides to have a good look at the last minute resulting in some horrendous leaps so going to book a few lessons in the new year and see if we can try and crack this phase.
