i really like how his examples of bad jump positions are so weird because it's probably so hard for him to look bad on purpose LOL
omg he's so stable standing in his stirrups!! My legs hurt just looking at him!
Understand that there is different position for begginner jumpers and advanced ones. The release is much different over a 2ft versus a 6ft. You should ride the horse to the base, and only lean forward as much as required for a release otherwise you will find yourself throwing yourself over the fence and unbalancing the horse. Do not throw your reins away, but maintain in rhythm with your horse to release properly. Maintain contact, but do not resist. This guy is a professional.
all these people commenting on his position in a negative way need a huge slap in the face xD He's the world class pro professional not you.
It looks as if ur foot is about to slip out of the stirrup but when u ride u look so secure 😊🐴
Tim Stockdale totally cried about CZcams comments whilst polishing his international grand prix trophies, oh and the medal of honour. I bet he thought about it when he broke his freaking neck and carried on 4 months later. Tim Stockdale is 'ard.
His toe on that stirrup is making me itchy.
Atlanta Georgia ifkr😩😣
All these little kiddies giving critique is just hilarious Check out Tim Stockdale riding Fresh Direct K2 winning six bar at 2.05m in Franconville 2013 and see just how great a rider he is then stop making such fools of yourselves please
Watching this, I know I'm one of those riders that throw themselves a bit too far forward XD
Gorgeous horse!
For all of those you think that this is a rong jumping position, think again. when jumping your hip angle is suppose to close and follow the horse, Tim Stockdale is one of the best Show Jumpers in the world. He knows what hes talking about :)
Very helpful! Thanks for the good advice, keep posting!
that helped so much :) i can see now that i was going forward way too much -thank you:P
Brilliant video Tim stockdale . Great advice , I follow your excises. Sarah 😀
Great instruction and nice to see and English instructor rather than American. (nothing against the Americans but they tend to ride slightly different to us English). I am learning to jump again after years of not doing so due to a bad fall.I find it odd that my instructor is telling me to put my legs back behind the girth when getting in to jump position, hence why I am now watching the teaching clips. I see your legs do not look as if they are going behind the girth. Do your legs go behind the girth and it is such a small movement it is not noticeable? Any advice would be more than welcome. Thanks.
ziddley ik it's a year ago but I thought I would comment still, it could be perhaps as you go Over the jump your legs tend to swing forwards so if you have the mindset legs back then as they swing over the jump they are in the correct position 😊
Very very helpful! Thank you!
My horse has a very scopey jump, it actually makes me look good when I'm really not xD
I really like how you explained that. :)
Thanks so much i'll put that to practise.At my riding school there are a couple of jumping horses that can be a bit dodgy. I found it hard to trust them and i got left behind and i wasn't sure what the correct jumping posotion was. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
thanks so much this is a life saver :D
He nearly fell at 1:40 LOL That was funny xD
thanks so much this helped alot
love it :D
this is very helpful I definitely lean too far forward.
Getting left behind doesn't always look like that though :D
Give Tim credit he stands behind what he teaches
Yes.
I'v never done it before but my legs just started shooting back 😭😂 so annoyed. Need more practice.
Katie V work on your balance(flat work) ask your instructor and just stand in that saddle in walk, trot and then canter
Yes
Haha I've just realised I don't actually stand up in the stirrups at all, I just throw my upper body and y hands forward xD Better sort that out.
haha yep, i've always had problems with my keeping myself from tipping forward :P
yes and the width of the jump is the same but not too much :)
Yes you do, you dont need to lean back intill your jumping about 4 foot xx
1:40 I cannot stop laughing!!! He's sooo funny :P
All i do is just go into my half seat and let my horse come to me.It has helped me a lot when going over verticals so i don't get off balance.
It mostly depends of how much the horse wants your hands if you understand me, that's what my trainer thought me.
different people get taught in different ways:)
His toe is barely in the stirrup, I would be worried about it slipping out if you has a mis-stride or small error
Yeah.
i deffinatly over do my jumping postion :(
yes defenitely lol hope it helped
Lol 1:40
omg XD LOL
i would say yes, because surly you would need to fold more when you go over say a 4ft jump than what you would jump a 2ft jump!
I totally agree with you !!! Just a bunch of people who think their pro's :s !!
u think that ur feet gonna slip but with the texture on the boots and stirrup it won't unless u do something like mud or "MAGIC"
Why does this have to be so political? Most of these people commenting have no idea what they're talking about! Needless to say, Tim Stockdale is an amazing rider and everyone needs to stop commenting, saying unreasonable things such as "you're ripping his face off" or "this rider looks too hunched." This is a video coming straight from the pro's mouth, stop posting negative comments on a video that's giving professional advice please.
Anyone that thinks Tim Stockdale has a bad position should Google who he is and just cause your a supposed trainer for 14 yrs means nothing or that you weren't good enough to be a rider who competes internationally like Tim
wth i never been taught like that ive been taught to keep my wieght in to my heels and push my bottom back as far as it can go and fold fron the hip !!
This guy clearly know what he's talking about!But me and lots of people were never taught to jump like that. He basically said don't lean forward. When you are suppost to.I've been taught to fold at the hip and keep my bum back.So personally i'm gonna ignore this video,and keep to what my trainer says:)
what breed are his horses?
yes!!! come on. you didnt know that? :(
I don't see how any of you are in any position to state what is right or wrong about anything Tim has said or demonstrated here, or attempt at 'bettering' his advice. Since when we're any of you World Class, International Show Jumpers?
You shouldn't actually do anything, your hip and thigh and lower back should be relaxed enough to follow the movement of a horse's back, and actually, when you see a distance to a jump, automatically going into your two-point is a good way to get thrown into the fence if your horse decides not to jump it. Stay positive (or supportive) with your leg and hand until you FEEL the horse start to jump, relax your hips, and you should naturally move in harmony with the horse! ;)
if you go into you half seat and let your horse come to you it helps
yeah because the horse needs more freedom to move:)
I don't see how anyone can say 'bad jumping position' like do you even know who this is?!
Gosh, you're standing. Give him some release on his mouth. He's begging you for it.
When yojur horse is just standing still, there's no need for such tight reins. . You're ripping it's face off.
bad jumping position! no offence
amm...not very good position ;) i ride 14 years,i'm trainer,and i know what is GOOD position :))
sorry for comment
Very helpful! Thanks for the good advice, keep posting!
