OMG your horse is the image of my new one!!!except if my horse saw those fillers she would have a fit!!!if you thought that was bad in sj in ireland no one gives a shit if your on the right lead and just getting around the course without knocking is perfection!!!!Lol x
@Lori4Saru Hunter courses are judged on how well they are executed. Meaning you have to make it look effortless. Show jumping is about how badass you are. ie, speed, not knocking down poles, etc. Hunters are judged. Jumpers are timed. That's basically how you can describe it. Although some hunter competitions have equitation rounds in which the courses are more difficult. Jumper rounds usually have tough combos and rollbacks and such. Hunters is line, diagonal, line, diagonal.. you get it.
i luv hunters thats ok we all have our days i have had mine and man there way worse than wut just happend to you.ITs ok lol horses r quite unpredictable.(at my first show ever i mest up completely and all of sudden kept getting my diagnols rong(beginner then) and my horse cantered in the walkt trot class(ugg she wasnt bad but it was really annoying to have to keep circling her
honestly you did great. i think hunters are overrated. us kids are pressured to be perfect and make our horses look perfect...and there's no fun in that. you did amazing so don't hang your head :D
its not about the height of the jump, it is the riders capability. i can guarantee that your 3 y.o. nephew would have flew if that was him when the horse bucked, he probably would have been bouncing everywhere on the incorrect leads, so props for sitting those wrong leads nicely. i could barely tell, cause you sat them so well.
Your horse wasn't bucking because you pulled him. He was counter cantering and swapped his back lead. It wasn't a buck of protest it was just swapping his back lead. Its hard to tell because of the camera but just before he kicks out you can see he is leading with his left hind and then he swaps to his right hind. good riding though, very nice seat.
this kept happening to me and i found that if u sit back into your seat so you can regain control of your horses speed you can get a feel of their hind end and slow it down so they can do a full lead change. It works like magic
at least you didnt let your horse refuse the jump 5 times then take off on you and run out of the gait thats whatg happend to me luckeily i stayed on ! your a reallllllllllllly good rider tho dont let this bother you evrey one has their days in the horse world that are crapp ive so far hsve like 10 in the past year that ive been riding!
Whoever videod is bvery goor at it. Also, your round was good, just a few excited bucks. That was better than you probably think. beautiful horse though :)
LOL well just think of it like this...if we had perfect rounds everytime then it would get boring. I think that what happened is that you gave less than clear instructions to your horse and then he didnt reapond in a mannered way so you got a little frustrated and started riding a little more aggressivly and then that upset him and the course just began to unravel. LOL been there done that but the more experienced you get the better you can camly handle situations like that. :D
lol! Thanks for the advice. xD My pony bucks too at the end of my hunter courses. lol I dont even ask for a lead change anymore, he only gets 1/2 on everyone I ask for, so I gave up and we do simple lead changes. lol

@Cheezehpoof
Sorry but that is just incorrect. He wasn't counter cantering when he swapped the lead & it wasn't his "back" lead whatever that is.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with jumping the course, just that the horse threw in a little excited buck! It's definitely not messed up.
