I've had my horse for about 3 weeks, and jumped quite a bit on her. I ususally jump 70-80cm but I've been jumping 90cm recently. She is a good jumper and has jumped 1m courses before.
I'm going to a competition this afternoon and I haven't decided what height to jump. It has a junior and senior competition, and if your'e over 13 you have to do senior. Basically if you get placed, you qualify for the final which is 5cm higher. the junior compeition is 80 and the senior is 90. i'm 13 so i should be in senior but my pony club allow you to do junior ever if your to old, you just can't qualify for the final, even if you win.
id like to do senior but im not overly confident jumping 90 and i don't no if id be ready for the 95cm final if i did qualify. its in a month. would this be long enough to prepare?
do you think i am rushing into this since i only got my horse 3 weeks ago?

You need to show at a level just under what you're schooling regularly at home. Nerves will make jumps look bigger at the shows; if you're schooling big at home, back off a bit for your competitions.

Don't you have a trainer??
