2-Minute How To Improve Your Jumping Position

Some Greg Best Tips.

  1. Your position stays constant when jumping- the horse just moves toward you (take off) and away from you (landing).
  2. There is a role in your knee when jumping, not pinching, but it does provide a pivot point.
  3. You horse can see your hands, raising your hands could be an "alarm" to your horse and worry him before a jump.

I've ridden with Greg Best and he is wonderful.  What is great about him is he understands that each horse is different and each rider is different.  As a rider, you need key strengths for jumping, however, the rider's build may dictate how the rider "looks" while mounted.
