On the jumping ... By: DragonHeart956. on 31 Mar 12, 02:22:04 On the jumping problem, simply alternate between half-halting and giving leg. Leg one stride, half-halt the next. Half-halt, leg, half-halt, leg, all the way up to the jump. I don't know what to say about the not stopping after a course thing though.?
Another exercise ... By: DragonHeart956. on 31 Mar 12, 02:18:10 Another exercise that has worked well for me is to set up a 3 stride line of 2 jumps, approach the first jump? like I described below, then as soon as you land the first jump, sit back and make him halt in the middle of the line, sit for a few seconds, and then canter off over the second jump. It will probably take a few tries but you will get the hang of it. Be sure you sit up, deep, and keep your heels down the entire time. Approach every jump as I described below. For me, it works every time.
I have the same ... By: DragonHeart956. on 31 Mar 12, 02:07:26 I have the same problem with my horse. What I do is put my leg on? him by the girth when I come through the turn up to the jump, and then half-halt on every single step/stride on the approach. While doing this, I sit up and keep my back flat, sit deep in the saddle until he takes off.
Hi, so when u say 3 ... By: tennisgirl977. on 30 Mar 12, 15:04:31 Hi, so when u say 3 2 1 for the distance do you use your leg on the 3 to jump and get it on time? and also do you sit until you get to the jump and then get into the 3 point position?? I think i need to come to you for lessons.
hey so try to put ... By: grayponylove. on 28 Mar 12, 03:40:22 hey so try to put poles like bouunces in between the? line depending on how many strides there are. also try a little half hault. as for the stopping try just relaxing sitting deep and almost asking for a halt.

how do i stop my ... By: 1233Maya. on 20 Dec 11, 04:13:43 how do i stop my horse from rushing a jump? He is an ex jumper and he acts like a small cross rail is like 4 foot or something if i let him go up to it any faster than a walk. if we walk he usally jumps good and canters after. but some days he over jumps and takes off after. (I have videos of him jumping at a walk? if u dont think a horse will jump on his own at a walk. PS no i dont kick or anything to get him to jump...last time i did that he almost left me in the dirt)
Hi, my horse rushes ... By: warriorcats5656. on 19 Dec 11, 01:40:31 Hi, my horse rushes to the fence, I can control her over small jumps, and in small lines, but when I need some speed to get over the jump, how do I add the speed without her rushing?
Also, at the end of a course, she refuses? to stop, I tried the See Saw (alternating reins), and pulling, then releasing, but she doesn't stop, or it takes her a long time. How do I make her stop? (shes fine on the flat, just after a course)

Do you only use one ... By: GreenDayKate. on 21 Oct 11, 15:00:11 Do you only use one pole? if so, try using another pole underneath it so the horse can see how big the jump is and adjust to it. Horses find it easier to jump spreads/oxers. :)?
