  • @BornToLead1000 That would be a half seat. You don't have to gear your horse up with a bunch of leather and chains in order to ride if your horse doesn't need it. Fyi swinging legs is not an "american" thing is an issue that EVERYONE goes through. Helmets are a choice.

  • i am a beginner jumper. my instructer never told me how to do a correct two point position. after watching these videos i have learned so much. anyone who says this girl is not a good rider does not know how to ride a horse correctly. so learn how to ride and then you may comment i any way. horse jjumping is very hard at first. i know exactly what it feels like to be a beginner.

  • if i wer teachin a person how to jump for the first time i would use a smaller jump...

  • Yer at least she knows how!

  • @Ashelylovesmakeup123 I agree and she needed to keep her 2point longer after the jump

  • no offence but learn 2 point not half seat

  • @katiecousins87 Stay relax. Don't tense up and trust your horse.

  • @CuteRobyn10 It can help if you have a coach or someone who knows more what they are doing to help you. Basically you go into two point and bring your hands up on the horses neck, heels down, look ahead of you and where you want to go, squeeze with your legs about a metre away before going over the jump while entering two point position , up you go, and always be relax.

    But deffinatly get informed in getting a coach.

  • Not canoe

  • I mean I can now.......

  • Good video

  • @CuteRobyn I canoe sit trot and canter really well I'm still learning with the jumping....I only get 1 lesson a week!! I usually click my tongue I'm getting better at jumping...slowly, thank you!!
