[@crazyk1561]

I love how you never blame the horse!

[@KandtheBays]

Aww thank you! I used to be in the midset that the horse was wrong - but over the years I've learned that it's 99.9% the riders fault. I've worked really hard about becoming more self aware and recognizing my mistakes and actively trying to fix them! It has done WONDERS for my relationships with my horses. They are way more willing to work with me when they don't get in trouble and I show them it's okay to make mistakes, or let me know that I was the one who made the mistake!!

[@annakatharine2416]

I’ve just started jumping on a horse that I ride, and it was pretty scary the first time but afterwards it’s super fun! And amazing job, your horse is beautiful, and I love your positivity and how you reward and encourage her with some pats and/or a “Good girl”

[@laursresindesignco4948]

I have a almost 4 year old thoroughbred mare that I want to teach jumping. I do a lot of pole work with her and have let her do some jumping while lunging her. She's very good. I have never taught a horse to jump (but I do have 5 years of jumping experience). How would I go about it?

[@kendallsneed1750]

I’m not a trainer by any means, but I would say just start small and work your way up. Start with ground poles, and then go to tiny cross rails. Eventually, you and your horse will get the hang of it and you can continue to raise the height or jump longer courses

[@KandtheBays]

Sounds like you've started with a really good base! What I can say is just take it slow. It's so easy to fry their brains at that age by doing too much. Starting out with a small cross rail or cavaletti is great. Then slowly add a second jump for a line with 6-7 strides to give her time to think about it. Once you've got that down then just keep adding a few more jumps until you get to a full course of 8-10 jumps. Once she's jumping a cross rail course, repeat it with verticals! Thoroughbreds are the most giving breed! So they will usually give more than they are mentally able, and once their brains are fried it takes SO long to get them back from it.

[@jayden_85]

This is so awesome!!! When I grow up I wanna ride and jump that high! right now I am jumping about 2'3"!

[@KandtheBays]

You'll get there!! Just keep working at it :) I knew it was time to move up in height once the height I was jumping started looking small LOL! I always school a height or so above what I'm showing.

[@Kiva_and_cats]

I’m not nearly as good at riding as you are but I’ve found it helpful to look at something at the end of the arena in line of where I’m going and not taking my eye off of it until I get there to keep a straight line. I’m not sure if that’s any help. You absolutely amazing at riding by the way! I hope I can get that good!!!!

[@cadeej8540]

What do you do to help her slow herself down? When i jump the horse i ride takes off and pulling back or sitting back doesn’t really do much lol. I might have to get used to him going faster lol

[@jermajayjay1092]

train him. Everytime he takes off turn him in a tight circle until he slows down. Do NOT let him jump if he rushes. not onlyis it bad training it's dangerous.

[@Bookishbakercass]

I work on counter canter and halt up the rail, the. Move to poles and trot through them with a few strides in between then halt straight. Then after that I move to cross rails at the trot and halt after the fence. Then move up to canter the cross rail and halt at the fence. I continue this pattern til I develop good speed and control. Then when I’m ready I will add more fences in order until I get a good working course at I speed that is reasonable.

[@KandtheBays]

Thats a tricky question! Haha. With her it honestly depends on her mood. Sometimes she is just so excited for jumping that I have to alter my plans. With my trainer we've worked on halting a few strides after a fence, putting blankets/etc. over the jumps to get her to slow her brain down and look at it. My trainer has even stood in FRONT of the jump until she was a few strides out and then moved out of the way lol. Now, all of that being said, without proper flat work, being able to bend/leg yield, work on a 10m circle, and the horse understanding the half halt, you won't have any luck over fences. Her issue doesn't come from lack of strength or confidence, she just LOVES her job. :)

[@cadeej8540]

These are so fun to watch! I'm working on getting comfortable in a canter. Do you have any tips?

[@niceguy5268]

Sit back

[@KandtheBays]

Have someone put you on the lunge line and start doing a few strides and then back to trot! Just knowing that the horse is connected on the lunge line helps my students feel much more comfortable because they have that added level of security. As you start getting more comfortable work your way up from a few strides to more, and then to full circles. Once you've got it there then repeat that same process but on a circle without the lunge line! :)

Core strengthening exercises! Also working with resistance bands to strengthen your glutes. In the saddle you can work on two pointing on the flat without stirrups. No hands through small grids if you trust your horse!

[@hailey.strides]

my instructor made me do 2 point transitions walk trot walk, even changing rein and stuff. I started jumping after a few months of riding, so got used to 2 pointing a lot. All i really needed was the transitions and like 2 point cantering, but some people might need more 💕

No worries, I'm glad you enjoy my videos! I don't take advice from the internet because I do have 3 wonderful trainers I take lessons and have training rides done on my horses with. It's impossible to tell from videos what the feel of a horse is - so it's impossible to give correct advice to a rider and their horse. Which is why I'm always hesitant to give advice to riders when they ask me for it!
