Jumping lesson on 2/3/2010 Draft cross / Percheron x TB horse

Me and Shamus(Grey) in a lesson with Maya and her horse Clarinet (Bay). Working on jumping in a circle. The jumps were at 2' to a little over 2'3 I believe. Shamus was bulging to the right...and I was fighting him a bit. I was told to shorten my reins repeatedly...I finally did it...I just worry sometimes about getting pulled out of my saddle. Im feeling more confident these days...I hope it shows.

Kind critique is welcome...preferably from adults.
I just delete nasty or ignorant remarks.


Sorry about music...they got rid of what I originally used

hey. i hope you respond a.s.a.p ... um well i'v been rideing like my hole life and last summer i had to give up my t.b. i'v finally found a 3 yr old and she's pretty butch. all she knows is walk trot and its going to take a while to train her but i'm just wondering does anyone thing she is able to jump possibly? or would she be too heavy because looking at this horse she doesnt look this butch.. but i'm just wondering because i lover her personality she's great but could i train her to jump??

@135steffany

My "butch" horse is about 1700 lbs and can jump a 2'3 course...several times...

Time, patience...and building stamina...it can't hurt to try.

@michazel1973 Haha I knew that I knew that horse!! I Love him! Haha I ride at Whisper Wind!!

I often ride a tb/ Percheron. She is a lot of fun to ride! She can be a bit clumsy over smaller jumps, but at 2'3-2'9 her jump is fabulous

i really dont know alot about jumping bc im just starting my horse in it but i rodeo....and a good way to strech them out for a run is if u take each front leg and pull it strait. not hard or might hurt your horse

[krazyus5]

you guys look so good but your horse is the white one rite? well if he is, he looks a bit stiff...............no offense he is beautiful but kind of stiff

[135steffany]

@merybearink yea i know :) but y coach/barn owner is the one who sold her to me :P she didnt want to put the effort into training her lol o well but yea she is a purebred percheron. all i wanted to know is if she would be able to jump in the furture not now when i can hardley event do flat work with her lol.
