How to improve the horses jump and release the back end

- Improving the horses jump and releasing the back end is about building trust and relaxation over the back. Setting up a related distance with an oxer at the end means takes the pressure of the rider to find a good distance and makes the exercise safer for the horse. Improving the horses' style and release behind is not an instant fix, you need to practice several exercises to ensure the neck and shoulders are working correctly, then start asking for the release behind by making the oxer wider to make the horse push up higher then drop the neck and let go behind.
Please tell me how your sessions go in the comments below, I'd love to hear from you.
Together with TeQ clothing, I can bring you a great deal on the TeQ tights that I am seen wearing in this set of videos. The tights are super comfortable and the material on the inside thigh and leg really helps when you're trying to sit to the trot, sit a buck, or trying to stay connected when jumping. Buy the tights and get a belt for only $10.00 NZD.

Good . 👍🏻informative video 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you liked it
Hello, i love the video! What distance (in meters) do you think would be the best for a 15.2hh horse with big strides, in between the vertical and oxer? 🥰
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video , I’d go 14.5 metres . If you take a screenshot of my distances page in my website Kirstin Kelly Equestrian , it’s great to refer to when your setting up distances
The horse I ride is quite experienced, but isn’t really trained well. She doesn’t understand wide oxers and jumps them like a vertical. That’s VERY scary, because you jump into the jump and it makes us almost fall. She also has that she hardly stretches out over a jump, so I can’t give her a good release. Because she doesn’t understand wide oxers I don’t know how to solve it..
Hiya, Have you checked the saddle is fitting and that she doesn't have a sore back or hind quarters? That is quite strange that she jumps into the oxer as a horse should judge with it's eyes that it needs to get over the whole jump. When your sure she isn't in pain try making very skinny oxers to build up her confidence and slowly make them wider. To me it sounds more like she is getting confused or that she is tight in the back. Let me know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Kirstin
Kirstin Kelly Equestrian Her back and saddle were both checked. The saddle wasn’t the problem and she didn’t have any sore spots on her back, so it’s probably just confidence. I will try the narrow oxer tip, thanks!
I’m riding a cob I’m trying to improve his jump he can’t jump that high about 75cm all he can do any tips to work on it and maybe go higher ?even if I can send u a video of him
Hi Libby, Raised trotting poles help build strength so the horse can lift his weight off each leg and build co-ordination . Bounces help build lightness and strength and the circle exercise to improve the canter is another great exercise. I have videos on each of these exercises
Hope that helps,
