Advanced Equestrian Jumping Exercises : Horse Jumping a Bending Line

[hunterjumper798]

Her stirrups r uneven haha just thought I might point that put ;)

[DoubleRainbowEC]

Just FYI, bending lines aren't very advanced. They have those on an 18" hunter/jumper course.

[trytryrox]

The canter length was consistent but I didn't think That the speed was bit love the arena wish we had an indoor arena

[spoie2222]

@55678954 @55678954 no you're not if you do then why dont the top riders stick their feet out??? feet are in the same position for the whole course AND her hands actually move forwards over the jump!

[spoie2222]

@spoie2222 (pippa funnell show jumping the vid wouldnt post)

[ChloeRosie14]

what a nice calm rider she is.

[SeaShepherdGirl]

Beautiful horse, and beautiful arena! I wish I rode in one like that!!

[jumanji321]

@55678954 ou aren't supposed to point your feet outard. If you do you might hit the standard, or like my previous coach, get you foot caught in someone else's stirrup and rip a tendon.

[fortheloveofsimon]

@jumanji321 I'm sorry, but it's gotta be pretty hard to get your foot caught in someone else's stirrup. You shouldn't be riding that close to someone, anyways...

[jumanji321]

@fortheloveofsimon Yes, you shouldn't, but she was training for polo and the other person got ahead and slowed down, making her catch her foot behind his.

[cowgal58]

That was great, looks like your horse really pulls you over them tho

[DreamerRosie1]

I was wondering what kind of horse is that? How high were the fences? Also, I learned a lot from it. Thanks.

[Bubble734]

that looks tricky!! she rode it very well

[aabbii93here]

is it me or are her stirrups odd ?!?!?!?!?

[DreamerRosie1]

@aabbii93here

I did not mean to like this. but her stirrups look normal. Stop picking on her.

[aabbii93here]

@DreamerRosie1 im not 'picking' on her, i was pointing out somthing at the end, i had the exact same problem last week, but my stirrups wern't odd, i was on a high shouldered horse, and her saddle had slipped slightly (her saddle was tight, the tightest we could get it) so yeh, im not picking on her !

[AngelFishxx1]

OMG 1:02=ahh! look at her stirrups!

[DreamerRosie1]

@AngelFishxx1

the stirrups are nice looking english stirrups. Stop making fun of her with them!

[Bubble734]

@AngelFishxx1 she just has her heels down...(which is correct)

[XCaliBearsX]

Ha, At the end, you can see she has wonky stirrups!! hahah.

[softballpunch5]

@XCaliBearsX Hahaha yeah you can ! (:

[Claireo1999]

You need to learn how to sit to that canter.

[DreamerRosie1]

@Claireo1999

If you knew anything, you would know she is just moving with the horse.

[Claireo1999]

@DreamerRosie1 And if you had any ppl skills you maybe you wouldnt be so rude...

[DreamerRosie1]

@Claireo1999

I am not being rude. I just think you need to word your critism nicer too.

[Claireo1999]

You need to laern how to sit

[HoodieLover52]

i did my first 3 jump bending line today ^-^ it was really fun!

[DreamerRosie1]

@HoodieLover52

That is so cool!

[XoDonutxBreyeroX]

She explains it good, just doesn't do a great job jumping. She's like a beginner jumper just jumping high heights, but she doesn't release. Nothing looks right.

[elliejellie98]

no i nee dot rember to take my outside foot behind the girth thankyouu x

[elliejellie98]

how do you get your horse into canter so quickly! it takes alot of kicking from me from any of the horses i ride is it just me ?? HELP x

[QuadraXardauQ]

@elliejellie98 Kicking should probably be close to a last resort along with a crop, are you taking your outside foot behind the girth and squeezing, not kicking, squeezing first? Clucking and/or kissy noises also do help.

[izzy123wizzy]

your really good :)

[kathy9789]

It might just be me but the horse looks a little bit hizzy we he gets to the jump. It just might be me or maybe he or shes haveing a stressed day.

[showxxjumper]

your moving too much with the canter

[PSYCHEDELIChorses]

To stop him from falling on his forehand, half halt right when u feel him go down

[PSYCHEDELIChorses]

You're a good ire

[naptimeponygirl]

the horse seems really downhill so i think thats why it looked like you were pulling on its mouth. work on bringing your horses head up more so you can have more of a bend in your elbows. it may feel like he is just working on the bridle but hes not hes just resting his head on your hands. that must make you ache quite a bit.

i can tell you are a good rider though

[jessybabeish1]

this isn't advanced. im 13 and jump like that?:L

good horse though :')

[XxXjazzwazzerXxX]

I can't do most exercises because the jumping area I have to use is very small and the jump wings have seen better days ;)

[MsBarebackrider]

in case u guys havnt noticed u WERNT THERE!

so stop being the "bitches" and just leave her alone u dont ride that horse u dont know what it does on an off day so shut up!

[Kimwpt]

Your horse is a little fat and it's slow

[hottguylover1]

@Kimwpt it really doesnt matter about the speed as long as u get the strides and stay on a consistent rhythm. w/o being out of control

[Tannochgirl]

Mmmmm...

My advice : Do NOT pull on the reins when landing or in mid air, this can cause the horse to pull backwards and may or may not cause injury to either yourself or to the horse.

[hottguylover1]

@Tannochgirl she reallys isnt pulling, its just that she has a shorter release

[showjumperluvr4]

and u dont look very prepared for the last jumps

[hottguylover1]

@showjumperluvr4 why dont u upload a video of urself jumping a 3-fence bending line so others can critique u :)

[showjumperluvr4]

@hottguylover1 oh shut up stupid it was like 2 comments, chill

[showjumperluvr4]

u need to release more over the jump because you are pulling back wen u land. u shouldnt be doing this video.

[horsecrazy8900]

she pulls on the reins after the first jump

[crazyformisty123]

give him some more reins gong over the jump. he looks like he wants more slack fo he can jump better and let his neck out a little more.

[CherrieCupcakeKerrie]

@TheCowgirl187 Maybe her horse is a bit on the lazier side? Every horse is an individual and their riders will know what is needed for them.

People critisize her too much, I agree she doesn't seem like an 'expert' but you can't yell at her how you think things should be done properly when you're watching over the internet.

[2bfearless649]

HOLD YOUR RELEASE! CLOSE YOUR HIP ANGLE MORE

[love41933]

y does he/ she speed up alot aafter the jump???

[TheLuckyGirl91]

@love41933 to grab the horses attention i guess???

[CheyZenaxx]

@love41933 At the second jump cause she kicked him duhh

[SuperAnniePie]

@love41933 My horse does that, he has a lovely collected canter into a jump and afterwards bucks and almost gallops off, and he will not stop until he has gone round a couple of times, no matter how much i pull, sit in the saddle and say woaah.

He is only 4, but he needs to learn.. what do you do to stop your horse from speeding up after a jump?

Please reply, I am curious :)x

[onlyaseasonthing]

Eep, where is your crest release? Poor horse.

[Hypertail]

the horse rushes into the jump

[laurenstreet60]

I ride and jump horses and people think its easy! Well, its not. I have been riding for about 6 or 7 years and I'm still learning new things.

[showjumperluvr4]

she was going a little fast for those jumps

[MiCaHRocksYourSock]

you land in his back!!

[LittleArtist126]

there called dog legs! I love them!

[ponygirl175]

I have a question about exersizing my horse. I have a show at theend of this month and i want him to do well r there some good working jumping exersizes, would bounces and 1 strides work?

[jeffersondreamrider]

ok people stop bashing her riding she is really good and she may be on a young horse you dont know how old the horse is and its a how too video its just tryig to help out some of the riders on youtube that may need a little help with jumping and i am not saying that i could do better because i am riding a green horse who jumps round and we are still working an lenghting strides on like 18 to 24 inch jumps so just stop bashing on this rider

[H0useMouse]

I don't get why pretty much every single one of these vids is heavily criticized. Are we all expert jumpers all of a sudden?

[heartsxandxkisses]

@H0useMouse amen aha

[ride4evahorses]

How....interesting

[xo0xdramaqueenxo0x]

The only thing is that she sat down a little too early. People. God. She's trying to help people learn to be better riders, you don't have to jump on her back. I gave constructive criticism. There's a difference.

[awsomelikeFred]

How is this advanced or expert? Not very good at all....I starte doing this at age 8 so um yaa

[zozo96]

ooh.

for the second fence..

it seems that u sat down a little..

but no, great job, ur knees and heels really well done:)

dont care about thosedumb people;)

you're good(Y):D

and by times... you'll become better and better!:D

[MariaVana]

she jumps ahead and with a really straight knee

[JumperinCali]

I can see this rider/trainer has a series of videos. They are not bad but let me say IMHO; this horse looks irritated and green. I would suggest the use of a tie down over fences.... And at the canter she (horse) needs to be coming from behind more - between the hand and leg of the rider. I would feel uncomfortable jumping with this horse so behind my leg.

[horsesforever1254]

yer i agree

[jumpergurl4190]

me too, that horse is on his forehand and the rider is not helping @ all

[crazyformisty123]

yep but maybe she is riding a young horse

[StormValleyStables]

OMG! YOU NEVER USE A TIE DOWN OVER FENCES!!!!!!! That's taking away the horse's movement, and endangering both horse and rider. If you're using a tie down, you need to stop before the horse or you gets seriuosly injured.

[funpnkr7654]

@JumperinCali I think you mean a running martingale not a tie down. A tie down would be dangerous for the horse and rider. A tie down doesn't let the horse stretch their necks out over the jump which in turn makes is really dangerous because if they can't stretch they can't get over the jump. And If you do mean tie down I really hope your not jumping your horse in a tie down. You should really use proper jumping equipment.

[toufoum11]

@funpnkr7654 a tie down isnt dangorouse for horse nor rider , well for jumpin it is , but gamers use tie downs

[funpnkr7654]

@toufoum11 Oh I know their not dangerous if their used correctly and for their proper use and jumping isn't one of those use's.

[toufoum11]

@funpnkr7654 ohk , ye i know . i misunderstood your comment lol

[funpnkr7654]

@toufoum11 Oh ok :P 

[toufoum11]

@funpnkr7654 yep :) . you should check out my vids , remember to comment , rate , and subb! :D

[funpnkr7654]

@toufoum11 Back at ya. :}

[snickers149]

I honestly don't think you are M expert but you were pretty good

[bobbyperu182]

yes yes

 i do

[ivorysgraceful]

Wow. Your horses gait looks soo comfy to sit to. I love how he jumps too.

[vnck25]

The style during 0.14- 0.21 is called Benbow stride, which is really cool

[h0rses101]

I think this is a great video and I learned a lot the lady who is riding in Not being a bitch, You guys are

[RiverzPonyClubRep]

i do this excercise its a very good excercis maybe you should try it and stop downing other peoples riding.

lovely riding

[bobbyperu182]

she need to shorten her reins and learn to jump, her horse is pulling her over

[liljumpergirl16]

you guys nr crazy ridn is for fun not for calln people names

[silverpurkat]

WOW where's the love horse people?? Disagree but don't go below the belt :(

[luff1800]

oh yea, n my background pic is better than ur too so screw u bitch!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[horserider23141]

i think they are so much fun. but i never said my horses like them:p

[horserider23141]

i love doing bending lines!! they are so much fun!!

[horselovers1998]

my horse hates bending lines! she refusis all of them

[TheRubyRose13]

she didnt even release! i thought she was an "expert"??

[luff1800]

her horse i kinda high stung n she cant release to much n give her horse to much control ecspecially doing a bending line cuz it wud prob make it worse

[hunterjumperbabe69]

haha i can do this in my sleep

[zeebradaisy]

lloll my horse is like fire breathing

(not really)

[FantasiaBronte9]

Tad Short one to the first (well held) Tad long to the second one but well sat up for the third fence. :3 Helpful excersize, i will defiantly try this.

[JustThatGirl801]

i rlly dnt think that is an advanced moves at all... i do those all the time....

[horsingaround1000]

well you need to not bounce so much in the canter but anyways everything looks good! good job!

[LUVWUV999]

i think shes really good i use to ride equestrian all the time but i now think its just too strick if u think about it so i do pleasure riding so i could care less if i do something wrong XD

[missjax2011]

That is a bad way to look at it, you need to ride properly to help your horse balance to maintain healthy muscles as he continues on throughout his life. Not caring can cause your horse pain in the long run.

[Roidaaly123]

ur a good rider , and i dont think taht u need any advice from people who just want to mek u look bad!! take advice from ur instructors .. and u ppl just fuck off

[luff1800]

well. . . i think that all u people that r finding something "wrong" with her riding should just shut up. cuz she looks like she has alot of experience, n i watched all of ur vids of u riding, if u had any, and she is alot better than u.

[hunterjumperbabe69]

actully i am :)

[Klodzinski6]

You lean back to fast over the jump. Let the horse take you all the way. i jump bending lines all the time, but you need to master jumping with your horse first if you want your course to be smooth and perfect.

just some tips, i dont mean to be mean. Just sharing advice!

[CowGirl259]

u've no vids of u riding!

shes actually really gud!

[suresurfergurl]

ya that might be because my horse was pregant and now hurt. And Yeah she has no release and bounces back on the horses back.

[thegirlgirlgirl]

yeah. she does lean back to fast when the horse isn't quite done jumping.

i mean. she is a good rider. but she still has flaws like everyone else.

[cloexcloe]

if you notice at the end of the video when the horse is stood still, her stirrups are slightly wonky. No real imprtance, jsut thought id say.

[heath67846r]

ya her left stirrup is a lot shorter.. and she sort of throws her body over the jumps.. the first jump isn't very pretty

[babibecca101]

if that is wot is comfortable for her X

[schleichforyou]

I love doing bendin lines but I can only do it at 1.00m

[JadeSparrow92]

crop and spurs? i feel like u should only use one or the other...but thats just wut i think

[heath67846r]

if you are riding an extremely lazy, or unruley horse, both are sometime necessary.. i know what your saying though.. i always feel mean using both.. but believe me, they help!

[jamieleeeq]

Her only issue is that she comes in a bit weak and is bit off base the second and third fences. But there is no doubt that she is a beautiful rider. And I would kill to have long legs like hers! :)

[ILoveSkyForeva]

i think that her problem is that her canter lacks impulsion. She is by no means perfect but she is a nice rider

[Grb0914]

I guess "advanced" is relative. It looked advanced to me :) (Jumping, oh, 6 inches maybe? lol)

[hanburke]

seriously right??

if it was so advanced wouldnt it be bigger??

[horseshoequeen]

no coz shes doing A bending line...(title)

[hanburke]

well if you knew in the jumpers there are bending lines and those are in the grand prix. i do the jumpers and i jump bending lines that are 4'--4'8.

[horseshoequeen]

oh...

[j78166]

I don't see how that is advanced. If she was jumping the 3 fences on a straight line it might be stlightly harder but not advanced. how difficult can it be to jump 3 fences on a curve?? If she wanted to ride a straight line and jumping each fence on an angle surely this would teach the horse more??

[kattycake2]

have you ever jumper? i guess not because jumping is really hard esecailly 3

[j78166]

Check my vids!! I am jumping 1.10m courses, trebles, cross country. You cannot tell me that jumping 1 fence then having about 4 strides to get to the next is hard!! You usually only have about 1 stride straight before a fence.

[SunnyHorseLover]

you really have nevr tried that have you ha!! wow trust me try it and then you tell me if its not hard

[j78166]

If you would like to check my videos, you might like to take back what you said. I am jumping 1.10 courses and have been competing at British eventing Pre Novice this season (1m10) Please do me a favour and check peoples videos to check their ability before you go bitching.

[showjumpinluv]

I have watched your videos, and I was unable to find you riding any sort of bending line. (maybe I should have wasted my time watching every single one of your videos?) therefore, since you think that an S line is soooooooooooooo easy, I would LOVE to see you put up a video of you doing an S line as smooth and pretty as the rider in this video did.

otherwise, get over yourself, and don't leave bratty comments on people's pages.

[j78166]

I never said that I had done it, all of my videos contain doglegs. honestly you jump the first fence, stay straight, turn, flying change, jump, stay straight, turn, flying change. it cant be all that difficult and dont tell me that I am being bratty, I have been jumping junior eventing courses I think this might be fractionally easier!

[showjumpinluv]

no see,the whole point of this exercise is for it to be an "S", with curves and jumping the fence straight on, not angled.

if you don't want people to tell you you're being bratty, don't leave bratty messages on peoples pages!

[j78166]

If you want to see me jumping curving dog legs, watch my video 'cross country schooling coombelands pre novice' then you can shut up and see that my point is completely valid

[j78166]

ok. to make you happy, go and look at my video show jumping 1.10m-1.15m. theres a bending line in there. but to a corner.

and also lots of other 'advanced' training exercises if your interested. apart from mine is proper stuff!!

[luff1800]

u go girl!

[bobbyperu182]

ummm you honestly need to stop arguing with hunterjumperbabe69 she is a better rider than you i looked and you are being a litte biatch!

[luff1800]

do u even ride?

[bobbyperu182]

yes yes i do

[j78166]

ok. to make you happy, go and look at my video show jumping 1.10m-1.15m. theres a bending line in there. but to a corner.

and also lots of other 'advanced' training exercises if your interested. apart from mine is proper stuff!!

[schmephy]

ya you need to work on your 2 point, your coming back too early also, but your much better than the other girl they had before!

[horse99lover]

you need to move your hands up the horses neck oer the jump!

[ReiningOverYou]

i think she's using more of a rein release, rather than a crest release. both work just fine. :P

[purpledaisy94]

after I watch this video a page pops up with popsfreak's youtube profile on it. does it happen to any of yall?

[rabbitboy56]

your're a way better rider and teacher then kelly for expert village)

[RodeoGirl120]

ooooo i love the horses jump its soo big i love it
