Hey, some of you have probably seen one of my previous threads of me jumping Lacy. I have taken your critique/suggestions from my old threads and other peoples. I think the result of my last threads a month or too, i look much better. what do you guys think? thanks in advance
It's a vertical, Daria.. LOL.
Landing looked a little rocky.. but how much can you expect? Lacy can't be amazing all the time! xD
But you looked GREAT! Although, if you're wearing a tank top.. couldn't you have used the outdoor? haha.
I thought you looked a lot better Daria! You waited for the fence and didnt get ahead!
The only thing I have to say is when you were along the rail about to turn, think about slowing your body and squeezing and releasing. Do some halfhalts so she doesnt come to the fence so rushy.
I thought you two looked really good! Ive been working with my new instructor and I feel like Im improving too!
Thanks! It wasnt really your turn... it was just more of her resisting your hands. Once she softens her mouth you guys will be even better! She turning out to be a cute jumper!
You did push up, I could see that, but they way you did looked more like you were going up, not over the horses neck? I could be totally wrong, I'm not sure, but it seems like you bounced up. Looked like it, I can tell you didn't. Sorry... that's what I saw. I have not seen your previous jumping so that makes a big difference as well.
Don't think I'm saying it was bad, because it wasn't. Overall it's a nice picture. Your leg looked pretty secure. (Unlike my fish-out-of-water one :P)
Well, the jump was basically a large canter stride, so not really much to say except you did stay in the tack, and didn't jump for your horse which is good. You do still stand in the stirrups too much and need to slightly close your hip angle.
Most of your problems now stem from not doing enough flat work, and having a stiff, inverted horse who is not on the aids. I highly recommend some dressage lessons to get you and your horse working as a team, and to get your horse working more effectively and safely to get over those higher fences, Good Luck!

Hey, watched your video. You look good and you have a really cute horse. The big thing I'd recommend is it looks like you have your hand a little too high coming to the fence. Put your hand down just a tad until you are ready to release when the horse jumps.
I would def. try to not pump so much with your arms before the jump! Try keeping your hands still and if your horse needs more speed or energy try half halt with leg to bottle her up so she will pus off her hind end and make a rounder jump!
