Horse Jumps ProTips - Ride-A-Course with Todd Minikus

www.premiereque...
We visited top show jump rider, Todd Minikus, at his barn in Wellington, FL to learn how he likes to set up a jump course. First he set the jumps, then we walked the course with him, and finished the day riding the course. What an experience!
A variety of Premier Equestrian horse jumps were used including the culvert wall, skinny gate, roll top, rock wall, and liverpool. Heidi Zorn, President of Premier Equestrian, talked with Todd about course design strategies, setting jumps for teaching young horses and riders, walking distances, tips for getting around the show course, and the importance of safe and durable show jumps.

It's called bleach. Trust me., I know from having a white pony that I showed. Moonlight Mistique aka Misty *she was a pain in the ass lol* would clean her from head to toe and that snot managed to lay in her pee pot before every competition. Although she was covered from head to toe, the slinkie won't help that 🙄😡❤️

[@nmd3132]

he doesn't. the help does. blue shampoos work well.

[@unrulycrow6299]

Great riding and the horse really has a good form! I'm not the best at jumping, but I always aim to get better, and that type of video is inspiring!

[@Hannah_tamara982]

How do you keep your horse so white when I take my grey pony out of the field she looks more like a skewbald 😂😂

[@christina-mz1lp]

[@scary8105]

Great riding sir....every jump was done with beauty

[@orda3392]

Amazing horse 💜

[@Claire_eq311]

Oh wow! These tips will help me a whole lot!

[@thegirlwiththeservicedog6468]

Reminds me of trying to slow down a gelding I ride, he gets very carried away and strong after leaving jumps, Ive almost fallen because of it, trying to find ways to stop that

[@ellajohns245]

Then don't jump. Do lots of pole work, changing the stride count in between two poles, shortening and collecting, and then start incorporating in grid work. Use a grid with a few strides to a bounce at the end to get him to pay attention, and if he rushes it and runs through it, he'll learn his lesson and improve each time he goes through it. The first couple times doing gridwork, come to a stop as soon as possible after going through the grid every few times to get him paying attention and not running out from underneath you. And GET A GOOD INSTRUCTOR! If your horse is doing things this naughty, your instructor isn't good enough.

[@nr.eventer904]

half halts and sitting back help me alot, along with removing pressure from my leg for my mare :)

[@CJ.Properti]

Good lesson..thank-you 👍

[@ellajohns245]

He lets his leg get way too far in front of him. He needs to fix that, it throws him behind the motion in the air and weakens his lower leg.

[@jareth7456]

Gorgeous animal

[@Claire_eq311]

OMG TYSM!! Love the tips! It will help a lot with my horse :)

[@carareynders9460]

My horse Cassie always refuses to jumps above 1m, and you horse is jumping like 1,5 or more

[@horses9574]

Cara Reynders this is probably 1m40

[@thomasbannettmas810]

yeah thats what i was gonna say this is wayy over meter 5

[@ellajohns245]

This is definitely not even close to 1m50. It's 1m35-1m40. Horses refuse to jump over a certain height because of the rider not being ready to jump over that height. You need to improve your riding to be able to correctly jump before you can ask a less-than-finished horse to do so. A rider that is undereducated in jumping ruins the confidence of the horse, and they start refusing or running out.

[@katharineforsyth1870]

This is like 1m15, coming from a pro show jumper... Some of the jumps are closer to 1m20-1m30, but probably not quite that high

[@brendaswanson3313]

Well ridden..😍👏

[@halmain7406]

Good video

[@jessicagomez3131]

What breed is this horse so pretty

[@Claire_eq311]

Mind telling more about strides and Diagonals meaning like checking diagonals?

[@graciemorris4965]

Nice!!

[@miaequestrian7581]

I am doing my mock exams in xc and jumping next week, any tips at all?

[@maneframestudio]

Mia Equestrian hope it went well!!

[@Spineless-Lobster]

Great form! How do you keep your horse so white? XD your doing great!

[@rexanne2911]

Did anyone else hear him say help at 2:17?

[@TrinitiTims]

👍

[@caraedwards1699]

Why do you lean so far forwards after the jump. Thought that affected the horses balance?!

[@kelsiejohnson3943]

Cara Edwards if you are going straight to another jump or even to a farther away jump it helps release on their mouth and keeps of their spine when they are trying to canter/trot

[@aoifebrennan5750]

It also helps the horse stretch their neck over the jump

[@abdulqaadir6510]

Pure poetry

[@caraedwards1699]

This is not hate btw just a question

[@ahkrkaoen3722]

2018?

[@fairlyliquid1303]

Beautiful horse and rider to watch

[@huzgonteamfreefire5382]

Wow that was amazing

[@barrelracingsoldier3270]

Wow you are amazing 😉!

[@PiperLadow]

Fly into SKAGWAY and see. Fly boy

[@coffeecat8826]

This horse is a beauty, but where are the tips XD

[@trapqueenfettywapper6743]

Amazinnggg! :D

[@cintulator2]

Remember yourself too. Lower spine surgery is not a funny thing. Swim, ski and perhaps dance or stretch.

[@Nautical_Parsnip]

What do you mean?

[@brendaswanson3313]

I'm up to 2 foot jumps 🙋lol

[@kaylamaguire1617]

What kind of horse is she?

[@ellajohns245]

Looks like a Belgian warmblood.

[@mohdfurkansaifi4525]

[@janakmedicos9735]

Horse jumping.

[@stormybadtype1diabetic244]

Gosh men are so strong and they look so beautiful riding the big jumps. Girl legs always move a bit more. He sounds a little...umm, scared or worried? The ride was great and the horse was pulling at the reigns but he had enough strength and soft hands to pull her back. Great combo, but he doesn't sound confident, although he should be...Also guys tend to ride in front of the girth... Wonder why that is..?

[@sterlingarcher9560]

What is this sport called ?

This sport is called *Showjumping* It is an equestrian sport where horse and rider navigate a course of obstacles. Skills required include precision, control, timing, and agility, both from the horse and rider, to clear jumps without faults and within a set time. Other similar sports where horses need to jump are : Eventing (Cross-Country Jumping) Hunter Classes Steeplechase Fox Hunting (Banned in the UK since 2005) Arena Eventing If you are interested to learn, start by basic horse-riding. Take your time because this sport can be VERY DANGEROUS and it needs a long time to master (many years). Always wear a helmet and safety vest. If you don't LOVE horse-riding- don't do this sport at all.
