In this video, Kirstin teaches you how to find a considerable distance every time you jump. She provides you “eye” exercises and long-distance jumps. These simple tips will make a huge benefit in building your jumping confidence.
The way you approach a fence will determine your take-off. Practice adjusting your horse’s stride, from shortening to lengthening, before you jump. Use balance and rhythm to ride smoothly to the jump.
How you sit between jumps depends on how your horse walks, you can adjust your seat several times in an SJ lap.
The way you release your arms and elbows when jumping helps you bend and keep your balance.
Jumping a scary filler is stressful because the horse will jump big. If your horse is chipping, running, or standing out of the jump line, your position may affect it. Wide oxers help loosen the ponytail and make the jump more rounded.
Seeing a reasonable distance to a jump makes a calm, confident rider. Learn how to improve your eye with these simple exercises.
