round 1 jumping lesson

[DDandCindyforever]

i think that the spots to the jumps would be a lot better is you would slow down. You are letting her drag you to the fences thus resulting in a long spot.

good luck! finding the ride is the hardest part of jumping, that's what separates good riders from bad ones!

[equinEssence]

Great vid<3

[BearHollow101]

JumperRider is absolutley right when your up to a fence pretend there is a sign there saying heels down.When you point your toes down you tend to fall forward,no offense that is what everyone does.

[hors3crazy]

Omg I ride in rodeos I do barrel racing :D

but last year I fell off my horse on a corner and broke my leg. But noww im able to do barrel racing again ^_^

[JumperRider]

Oh yes, I forgot, when jumping the actual fence try to sink more in your heels. Thats the one problem of a lighter seat, its harder to focus on heels down. But really thats just about the only thing I can pick out!

[JumperRider]

I LOVE your seat. Most people focus so much on sitting hard in the saddle they smack their horse in the back. I prefer a more hunter seat, forward and lightly off the saddle, which you ride very well here. This lightness and steady leg show your true ability as a rider. Keep up the good work, distances are always tough!

[xcowgirlupx]

Your horse is a cute mover! I love his/her canter. Is he or she an arabian?

[bearian16]

ya, he is

[xcowgirlupx]

I thought so. I couldn't really tell though because all of the arabians at my old stable weren't jumpers and didn't have so much muscle.

[BIANCADANCING]

he looks a bit quick :P

[salwoitisgurl]

really? how sucky. they r a lot of fun. i live in arizona..and i take it u live in cali?

[ranchgirl34]

yup... i just watched a bunch of mounted game videos on here and they look like SO much fun... I'm gonna set up some courses in my backyard and work on them... hope I can get my horses willing enough to slow down

[salwoitisgurl]

oh really?? me 2. i won rodeo queen last year!

do u ride in the rodeos?

[ranchgirl34]

I wish, there are no rodeos around here. No rodeo queens in southern california

[salwoitisgurl]

u did so good. i ride western and have only been in an english saddle a couple of times and its so not easy lol!

[hockeyalias21]

I was born western... this is about my and the horse's 7th lesson. I ride english for fun, but barrel racing is my discipline of choice

[showponygrl]

I agree, your lower leg does look good. And distances can be hard to "see" in just a few lessons, some people have a knack for it and others don't. But you ride really well.

[horseluvnfreak]

wow your lower leg does not move ONCE in this whole video! lucky =]

[piinkx3cowgirl]

i envy your lower leg. very good =)

[trying4a9]

Very cute horse! Your lower leg is pretty darn good! If you work on releasing a bit more over the fences it will help you stay off his back a little bit longer. Cheers!
