Good advice here

Some riders plateau at 1.10m not because they lack talent—but because a few key pieces never fully come together. In showjumping, that height is often where the sport stops forgiving gaps.

Here’s what typically holds people there:

1. The basics aren’t as solid as they think
At 1.10, you can’t “get away with it” anymore. Inconsistent rhythm, weak straightness, or poor distance judgment start costing rails every round. Riders often chase bigger tracks instead of sharpening flatwork and fundamentals.

2. Riding reactively instead of proactively
Many riders at this level are still following the horse rather than riding the plan. They see a distance late, make last-second decisions, and rely on luck instead of creating the jump.

3. The wrong horse (or mismatch)
Not every horse has the scope, carefulness, or mindset to move up. And sometimes it’s not about the horse being “bad”—just not the right fit for that rider’s style or goals.

4. Comfort zone mentality
1.10 can feel safe and achievable, so riders stay there. Moving up means risking rails, time faults, and ego. A lot of people choose consistency over growth without realizing it.

5. Lack of correct coaching or feedback
Progress stalls when no one is truly pushing you or correcting the small details. The wrong voices—or too many voices—can also create confusion and inconsistency.

6. Mental ceiling
This is a big one. Riders often believe 1.10 is their limit. That belief shows up in hesitation, over-riding, or riding not to make a mistake instead of riding to succeed.

7. Inconsistent system
Training sporadically, changing methods, or not having a clear program makes it hard to build confidence and progression—for both horse and rider.

The truth?
Getting past 1.10 usually isn’t about doing something dramatic—it’s about doing the simple things exceptionally well, consistently, and under pressure.

The riders who move up:

Obsess over flatwork and rideability

Develop a clear system and stick to it

Put themselves (and their horses) in the right environments

Stay coachable and honest about their weaknesses

Get comfortable being uncomfortable
