Teach your Horse to Jump Confidently and Relaxed

Does your horse dodge out of jumps, stop in front of them, or rush before or after? Do you wish your horse was more confident and relaxed while jumping? This video is for you!

This is super interesting. I'm teaching my 20yo to jump. She's loving it on the ground but I haven't gone over a jump in years. She's at 19 inches happily when I run by her and lead her. She's trot over poles of nine inches fine, and done the occasional tiny hop trot with me on, but I'm holding her back. She's very confident on the ground as I reward her for every time she goes over, whether she knocks a pole or not. If she doesn't we just keep going. We are hoping to do schooling shows!

It sounds like you’re both having fun 🤩

Giving the horse that responsibility must make the rider more relaxed too since she doesn't have to think about micromanaging right before and after the jump.

Yes! Right on!
