jumping a m, any tips?

The other day it jumped just over a metre for the first time it might not be alot but its a big accoplishment for my group and me, as it was the first for all of us. However does anyone have any tips on jumping a metre? When I jumped that height I came right out of the saddle, I just think it was the first time jumping that height so I was a bit out of it. I luckly didnt fall and was able to recover and get away safely lol. Any tips on postion etc? thanks

Your position should be the same for every fence

-heels down
-eyes up
-release

Congrats on jumping that hieght

Thanks I think that my heels were coming up and that was my problem. I had to kick after the first jump to encourage the horse I was riding to jump the m, so I think my position was all over the place. Thanks for the tips

Just remember, a jump is only a longer, higher stride.. nothing to get freaked out about. Keep you position steady and you'll be fine.

Thanks justdressageit I just always had a fear of jumping after one lesson where things kept going wrong lol, but im trying to gain back that confidence
