Phillip Dutton Pro Tips - Horse Jumping Tips - Horse Jumps 

lol, my instructor is like the opposite of him. She is loud, yells, screams and is not calm or polite whatsoever when we are in the arena(or anywhere in a training with the horse environment) but when we are just hanging out or something she is like the nicest funniest most caring person. I think the yelling and screaming is a good method for me, at least I won't forget when I do something wrong. hahahaha

I would so love to be trained by Phillip Dutton. He's so calm & polite, but still gives the right instruction you need.

I trust that a person who has ridden in the Olympics can set his own stirrup length.

you guys don’t ride in the olympics, and probably don’t have trainers like this. so respect that Phillip is helping the riders and that they are learning, we all learn.

At 3:57 Phillip calls the rider on the chestnut 'Boyd'. That's probably Boyd Martin riding. All the negative comments about him are unnecessary. Humble yourself and learn from the man.

This is a helpful video. And I think the people that are hating on it just don't understand it.

Phillip is so nice about everything and calm, i would love to be trained by him :)

It's normal. It's the position we usually go into when we're cantering, called half seat, and it's done to get off of the horse's back and let him/her move more freely. Hope this helped! :)

Thanks sir 2 show this video now we can correct our mistakes

"The guy on the chestnut" is Boyd Martin...

Glad we could help

I completely understand. I do the same thing. But I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to kinda topple forward when you land from a jump. It also is probably difficult for him; he looks pretty tall, so having his stirrups that short isn't really as necessary. He's got long legs.

Thanks! I just saw this and i'd like to make a video of me jumping of showing what I learned! :)

Intro was long but I like the instructor, very few people these days can teach and bring out the best in each person.

I'm no expert, but I could give you a few tips. Instead of throwing your body forward over the fence which could potentially throw the horse off balance and cause a rail try getting your body back by trying to keep your hip and heel in a straight line and then give your hands forward over the fence. 2-point is often over exhaggerated, but just remember when you get in 2 point position don't get ahead of yourself, if you're jumping that low you don't need a big 2 point or release.

1:45 Yeah yeah Yeah Can We Get On With It Im Getting Bored.....

The people riding weren't Phillip Dutton, he was the one coaching g

you should go forward in 2 point and back into the saddle and pull your shoulders up and back when landing to help.

One thing that might be causing your problem is that you're releasing to much. If you over release it your upper body comes forward,your heels come up and your seat comes far over the front of the saddle. Some riders brace on the horses neck upon landing for support but that only pushes upper body come forward because the horse puts his head lower while landing.

The guy needs to straighten his back a lot more 😬😂

@naomixmakeup Oh cool! I've ridden one of those before and their great but people thought I was mad when I said I thought it was a cross. Thank you! Finally, someone who knows! Mhm (: I knew they were different and had a slightly different structure but thank you for telling me the differences exactly. (: Yeah they're both amazing. The horse/pony cross was a great girl and my horse now matches her abilities, and she's a trained all rounder! The horse/pony cross was just a riding school equine b

Great video, but in the small jumping i'm working on I keep falling forwards after the jump. It's only a crossrail and I have 2pt. down, but after every jump I would get thrown forward. What/how should my position be in the landing?

One other thing,have your trainer watch you to make sure that you aren't leaning too far forward over jumps.Many people tend to ride to a jump in two point and then lean further forward as the horse takes off.

"Boyd Martin" (possibly) riding with that posture isnt necessarily wrong... Some people who do eventing or cross country ride like this and im sure many of you have seen. Not the biggest fan of that sort of riding as you arent that balanced when doing that but i guess its a style and everyone should just leave the instructor to instruct.

yeah he's in the 2 point position, he's ment to be a bit more forward ..... but it happens to everyone.

My trainer is the same way.

What Kind Of horses Are those Two?

When your jumping you're suppose to have them a little shorter then usual.

Well what about donkeys? :L And my trainer told me ponies have a slightly different build to a horse, like a tiny bit thinner legs. :P

5:26 looks like the horses butt keeps coming up, hitting the guy and making him lose his balance..I'm new to English riding and never jumped, but am I right or is this normal?

That guy is Boyd Martin....

I know your supposed to shorten your stirrups like a hole or two for jumping but the guy on the chestnut needs to lengthen his like 5 holes! i mean really when he posts he looks like a jockey and he should straighten his back a bit (not trying to sound rude but...)

You need to build your leg strength. The best point of contact is through your calf. A little bit of knee, but not too much. Too much knee and your heels will swing back, and your body forward. This isn't easy - takes a LOT of hard work to build this strength. There should be no exaggeration over the fence. You just need to get out of the way enough for the Horse to come up. It cant do that if your hovering over its withers. Build enough calf strength, and youll be like a little spring.

*them

is it just me or are both of the girls not releasing with their hands? I mean sure, you shouldn't throw the reins at the horse over the jump, but it seems like they weren't releasing at all.

Lol...don't really care. Professionals still make mistakes :)

I can see his helmet 😳

Just wondering, but shouldn't he really be talking about equines in general instead of just horses? Just because I was going to get an equine who's mother was a pony and father was a horse and she was amazing. Great video though.

That man on the chestnut need to shorten his stirrups a lot, i know for jumping need to shorten your stirrups but seriously

Sarah was better than Boyd !

At me or the other person? :p

The rider on the chestnut horse looks like she's arching her back before all her jumps...

And he hunches over like he broke his back and cant keep good posture

yeah that guy has bad posture. The woman riding has exellent posture however. I wouldnt think that that is Boyd Martin riding. The man riding is obviosly not him. I think many of us can ride better than that guy.

Uh, that would still be a horse. A pony is just a horse that measures under 14.2hh.

....lol

I dont enjoy seeing horses having their mouths held closed for anything other than a strict medical reason. i am a rider and i ride mostly without a bit and when i do, my horse has as much movement as he wants.

the guy is so sloppy, and hunches his back and leans forward

Ugh. The guy ont he chestnut keeps roaching his back over the jumps. It also looks like he needs to lengthen his stirrups; he looks like a jockey.
