How do I get started Show Jumping?

sorry, i do not know your area but i could give you tips on how to find a trainer! sometimes, you may think there is only a few coaches in your area but really, there are tons you just dont know about! do your research, look in newspapers, online, call people you know or ask the coach at the crappy barn if she knows of any other trainer. are the competitions in your area? go to a show jumping competition and scope out the trainers. Ask for EVERYONES phone number, because the more the merrier! The key to getting started in the sport is just getting a good trainer with a lot of connections because he/she will take care of you and help you excel!
