How to see a distance to a jump.

[@jennal107]

I previously had a trainer that would quite literally get mad at me for picking any distance I saw, long or short. I lost all my confidence and ended up not being able to see any distances. This video was very helpful to me, I appreciate you putting it out there that you just have to trust what you see and make it happen, because when you second guess is when things go wrong.

Oh how terrible, none of us are perfect and to expect to see perfect distances every time is madness . I really hope your accepting what you see and hear and have got your confidence back .

Bryan Williams thanks so much . I really appreciate your positive feedback

*when you already know how to judge distance but you want to see how others explain it*

[@KirstinKellyEquestrian]

Yes sometimes it's just worded differently and makes riders think "oh I get it"

Any tips to slow a fast horse in jumping? My gelding is a long strided horse and rushes jumps espies anything larger then 18 inches,

[@KirstinKellyEquestrian]

I have a video on this, make sure you subscribe too , then you wont miss a release. Just search my channel on how to stop a horse rushing the jumps.

[@bella-tu4jj]

[@KirstinKellyEquestrian]

I’m in everyone’s country now esp during Covid. With my online work I teach riders in the U.k, Canada, Thailand and the U.S. 🥰 check out becoming a patron of mine www.patreon.com/kirstinkellyequestrian

@@KirstinKellyEquestrian awe thank you for letting me know but sadly i live in sweden :(

[@cattowaxx7785]

So a stride is each step the horse takes?

[@hotfudgechocolatbrownies]

Yup

[@alaynachicko331]

When I go over a jump I always seem to see a longer stride then my horse, wich causes me to 2 point to early. How do I fix that?

[@KirstinKellyEquestrian]

Try looking at the ground rail as it makes you ride a closer distance, instead of counting the rhythm out loud, say the word Sit, sit each canter step to remind you to sit on your backside and be patient for the stride.

[@Oceanpelt-ds1ol]

idk how but as a dressage rider i normally see strides pretty well when i do cavaletti 😂

[@KirstinKellyEquestrian]

As a dressage rider, you will have a great sense of rhythm which will make jumping cavaletti easy. Keep it up as the horses love the variety.
