How to Jump Your Horse

To begin jumping, it's important that you have a strong two point position. To do this, to get a strong two point position, you want to practice it first at a halt, then the walk, trot and canter. Making sure that your heels are down, and that you have a nice short rein and that your hands are up along the neck so that you follow the horse's movement over the jump. To begin with, we're simply going to trot a jump. If you new to jumping, it's a good idea to get in to your two point a few feet away from the jump so that you're ready. And even though we trot in to the jump, you want to make sure that you canter your horse away from the jump. This encourages them to learn to look for the next jump. Next we'll canter the jump.
