How To Jump On A Horse
In this guide, equestrian rider and trainer Melanie Gatt from Stag Lodge stables in Richmond Park, London gives some top tips on how to jump on a horse.
Top Tips
- To help with straightness, practice jumping over trotting poles or canter poles before building up to fences.
- To help with rhythm count the number of strides between each jump. This will give you a feel for the length of your horse's stride and ensure you are going into each jump at the right time.
