Hi! I have issues with my lower leg sliding back when I’m jumping and not really releasing… do you have any tips on how to fix that? Exercises? Anything really :)
Thank you for these videos I started equestrian riding and I have a mental health condtion that makes it harder to process thing I. Have to set alarms on my phone and watch for self care
recently I've been riding this new green horse at the stables and she over jumps everything. like she sometimes stops before the jump then does a massive leap over it. which means I'm not expecting it and do that thing where you kind of fly forward onto their neck. did anyone get any tips?
i recently changed riding schools about a week ago and i’ve gone from 80s to 1.10 :) i will admit that i’m a very confident rider and still confident to go higher. my upper body is perfect in 2 point and i have the correct striding and i’m good coming into the jump and all of that but my legs position seems to go haywire over the jump, it kinda gets left behind. should i try pushing my leg more forward during take off? i’m also having trouble keeping my heels down and sitting well since i ride a giant horse, will shortening my stirrups help keep my heels down? i also have trouble sitting up after the jump, i am able to but i just feel like i’m taking on the horses mouth by sitting up so i tend to throw my hands forward. do you have any tips on this? (great video btw!)
Hey Rando I would think this more has to do with keeping weight in your stirrups. And if you are folding you might just be pushing your upper body forward and when that happens our leg goes out behind us (same thing the other way) Try focusing on a point up the wall the other side of the fence, and no moving your upper body when the jump comes just keep the same position with your upper body over the fence. Now on the landing your leg should come a little in front as you brace for the landing so your upper body will be a little leaned back. Think riding down hill.
Yes!!! Thank you for talking about “learned bad habit” and it being okay to get after them for being brats. It’s working with my mare that is super ear pinny and snaps her teeth at me when touching her under neck and girth as well as cinching up
Poor horse is obviously tense and upset, being forced to do something she instinctively doesn’t want to do. The whip says it all. Animals are not on this earth to entertain humans.
As for your remark about whips, they are an extension of your arm. They don’t touch the horse. It is a training aid that once again, you obviously know nothing about.
Although I have schooled jumping before my first pony that I bought with my own money is really giving me a hard time jumping wise that I need a bit of a refresher. Thank you😊
Also maybe think about reaching forward not in your hips but arms. But again not too much or your 2 point will look messy. And not to much where your hands are like strait
@@Plantsareadorable idk if they will help but if your riding alone with no one to watching then maybe video it so you can see how your position looks. Hope this maybe helps!
Even try jumping without reigns! Just with your hand open like a airplane! That’s super fun! And your not pulling in the bit cause your not using reigns!just something different as fun to try! Let me know how you are inproving
Okay but is there a better way to do this rather than getting them to spin round and round the block? My horse was taught this and just rushes off with you once you’re on her back. She won’t be held by people either as she barges through them.
Thank you for this. Retraining a OTTB and the last horse I trained to jump resulted in being thrown over jumps lol tiny ones. But he now jumps 4 and half feet.
Oh my God never be a teacher 😳🙄🤦♀️, you are just a jumper there is no logic in what you say, okay Yea heels down but your back shouldn't be hollowed and you should have a straight line shoulder hips ankle heels no long ass stirrups for jumping work loads on your flat work, even if you are just interested in jumping for being left behind you need to sit for in your seat and wait for your horse, with your heels not being down, try no stirrups if you are a beginner then just at walk or on luach, and focus on one thing At a time if you are having extra trouble ask your teacher or download this app equisense please never Google it on RU-vid half this people have no idea what they saying
Thank you for the vid. My gelding is 15 years old and a rescue. The techniques you use has got him to jumping 3 feet! Thank you so much it was extremely helpful!
This helped a lot thank you! I have a habit of pinching my knees and leaning forward while I canter and I lose my left stirrup always, it’s quite frustrating but I think this video helped that! I have only been riding for 2 years so not going to be perfect lol.
Mine says at lest 1 a lesson to me she says ankles down and to my best friend she says will you stop hitting my cones (in a joke way) because she always hits her foot of them
Lily X pretend you have ice cream in your hands, if you put your hands sideways, you drop the ice cream, and when your jumping giving the horse its head over the jump, put your hands on the neck, don’t pull your hands back
dont mean any offence but ur back shouldn't be arched. it should flat. arching ur back is something that causes u to force ur back into something thats not natural. dont force ur body to do something against its conformation. a good example is why some riders can sit deeper in the heel than others. my ankle bones dont have that "gift" but I do get my heel lower than my toe. forcing against ur body's conformation cause tension and bracing which travels to ur horse. again, dont mean no offense :)
Thank you for your comment Sherrie. It seems we disagree. I believe it should because it puts our position in neutral spine which gives us a stronger core. Again, thank you.
@@sherrielm6259 Absolutely...Here is a good explanation of neutral spine. www.teamusa.org/USA-Synchronized-Swimming/Features/2013/July/24/Understanding-Neutral-Spine-Position-and-the-Core-Muscles Now i may use the word arch because that it what people understand but what really happens is the pelvis rotates. :)
@@HyleeTraining I love how you replied. I don't get people anymore! No one can have an opposing opinion without being called awful names, and anger thrown their way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having your own opinion and views. But people nowadays are such "keyboard " warriors - spuing out terrible things! Nice job!
My suggestion would be to not push your hips forward as you go over. Keep the hip placement the same. The leg generally goes back if we are too forward thru the upper body. For more detailed review you are welcome to post a video:)
judita czakoova I used to dance so I had my heels go a different way, so I struggled with that too. But I found by standing at the edge of stair and letting my heels drop really helped.
Everyones heels come up in a jump so it's nothing to worrry too much about. Even the pros can't even keep their heels down. Just focus on your stability in your lower leg, your heels will come with time
I keep on landing on the neck some how when I jump And I end up sliding of what am I doing wrong XD btw don't b scared to tell me if I'm doing it hella wrong I won't be offfended
JJpaw 07 it could be a number of things if you video it for me I’ll be happy to review ;) my first question would be what size of jumps and what is the training level of the horse you are riding?
