To improve your jumping position while riding horses, it's essential to focus on a few key tips: 1. **Correct Posture**: Maintain a straight line from your shoulder, hip, and heel. Keep your back straight but relaxed, and avoid leaning too far forward or backward. 2. **Balance**: Work on your balance by keeping your weight centered over the horse's center of gravity. This will help you stay stable and in control during the jump. 3. **Leg Position**: Keep your legs long and close to your horse's sides. Your lower leg should remain still and secure to support your balance. 4. **Release**: Allow your hands to follow the horse's mouth over the jump. A proper release helps the horse jump more freely and allows you to stay balanced. 5. **Eye Contact**: Look ahead to where you want to go after the jump. Keeping your eyes up helps with balance and preparation for the next movement. 6. **Practice**: Regular practice is key to improving your jumping position. Work with a trainer to get feedback and guidance on your form. By focusing on these aspects and practicing consistently, you can enhance your jumping position and become a more effective rider.
To maintain a quiet lower leg while riding, it's important to focus on your position and stability. Here are some tips to help you achieve a quiet lower leg: 1. **Correct Stirrup Length**: Ensure your stirrups are at the right length for you. Your stirrups should allow your heels to be slightly lower than your toes, promoting a stable lower leg. 2. **Leg Position**: Keep your legs long and close to your horse's sides. Avoid gripping with your knees, as this can cause your lower leg to move around. 3. **Weight in Heels**: Concentrate on keeping your weight in your heels. This helps anchor your lower leg and provides a secure base of support. 4. **Engage Core Muscles**: Strengthening your core muscles can help you maintain balance and stability, which in turn keeps your lower leg quiet. 5. **Practice Two-Point Position**: Practicing the two-point position can help you develop a strong lower leg. This position involves slightly rising out of the saddle while keeping your lower leg still. 6. **Riding Without Stirrups**: Riding without stirrups can be a great way to improve your lower leg stability. It helps you develop a deeper seat and a more secure lower leg position. By focusing on these tips and practicing regularly, you can work towards achieving a quiet lower leg while riding.
!!!THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION NOT HATING YOU'RE AMAZING!!! Maybe try halting after the grid or lengthen the line to 6-7 strides that way you can halt between the jumps to teach her to not just run off. Again, just a suggestion!
Just saying Christina isn’t the type of person to lie about the height of a jump, those wings have measurements on them Stella used to compete at that height so she find it pretty easy so makes it look pretty easy Also why would Christina lie about jumping 125 when she has jumped 135 before that makes no sense 😂
@@lilli_the0ne she can she is my friend! Also I’m really not fixated on heights of jumps, as it doesn’t hugely matter. I definitely wouldn’t lie about the height :D
