....or its a rider who hasn’t jumped in the last two years and for some reason decided to give jumping a go again

[@vizs.9969]

haha same

[@little_emjei]

(I know this comment is 2 years old) Or, a beginner rider who's literally never been able to jump, before ^^; (me).

[@lizsteeds6697]

As always ... your tips are really great. Clear, concise , easily assimilated and full of important information with the theory behind the exercise explained then ridden to demonstrate. You are doing a fantastic job. I would love to come for lessons with you but I live in New Zealand ... sigh. Thank you for putting the effort in to produce these Miri. They are really invaluable as schooling tools and we are lucky to be benefitting from all your years of experience. Did Loki (?) find a home ? He is a rangy boy ... how tall please ... and what level did he achieve with his dressage ?

[@sherineff4319]

Very helpful, I am hopefully going to start jumping.

Thank you so much this was honestly so helpful i’ve just bought a 7 year old whom has no knowledge of jumping! And now 2 months later he’s jumping 95cm - 1m 💓

[@Twilightismylife93]

If you remember, what brand/make is your saddle in this video? It's gorgeous!

[@angelaparkin4820]

I'm getting a new horse and hopefully gonna jump on him

[@hazelfaith9120]

Omg same! Lol!

[@itsari1320]

You’re pony is so handsome

[@thisgirlavery2564]

I do horsebackriding and am going to learn how to jump

[@leahjvr3245]

Thank you, this really helped me start my boy on jumping, he gets a little nervous at the jumps so I've also gotten a trainer to help me as well!

[@yogawithkassandra]

I'm going to try this today, thank you! :)

[@Latarielle]

This is a great video. My horse always does things slowly and always trots over the jump or even slows down and walks over it and doesn't actually jump it. Any tips to get him to actually jump?

[@mackenzie1063]

I’m a barrel racer and now I ride English to so I need some jumping tips 😂

[@juliaphillips5726]

This horse for sale I am thinking about a jumping with horse

[@blebleble9624]

Yeah, we tried that and my horse just jumped the pole with the jump. Long distance jumping champion.

[@bshaw2221]

I had my first jump but can’t handle because it’s was on a fast high jumpy horse

[@coraliesentch4515]

Really helpful vlog Miri - Thankyou ! 👏🏻🥰

[@caughtredhanded0]

Helpful but I canter the jump completely

[@chloethomas4603]

i have a question that ive been not sure about for ages now , when going over the jump do you keep your hands up in the air or do you wrest them on the horses neck because ive seen different people do different things ?!.

[@AstridSilentbaker37]

Keep them on the horses neck, it gives you balance , etc.

[@marigold960]

That horse is so beautiful

[@DashAubs]

do not sell loki

[@dillionjackson5437]

[@hollymizelle4053]

Me watching these videos feeling like I have a whole warmblood when I have my 15hh quarter horse 💀🥺

[@DS-ky9dl]

You are a great rider and trainer and give easily understood tips. Those taking lessons from you are lucky.

[@lucy-wq7zo]

Wow! What a beautiful pony x such a handsome baby x

[@anomasamarasinghe6844]

Good tips and clear nstructions.

[@justlivinglife4263]

What breed is the horse you are riding in the video

[@virupakshahg]

How to train a horse for the first time

[@ambrawoodhaven1067]

Yay tysm this helped me so much

[@boonicornabi2475]

You make it look so easy

[@lolliplayz798]

I know I'm a little late to this video but, I have a question. When you do the jump do you lean forward for more momentum or do you stay back, and relaxed?

[@lydiahodges8648]

You would always get into two point position which is forward and up as this is better on your horse' back and easier to stay on over jumps

[@chavellisulikowski6920]

So useful! He looks like my boy! What height and breeding is he?

[@mile5376]

he is a warmblood

[@showjumping1grey264]

Love the horse

loved the video

[@fleetskipper1810]

Very clear.

[@cheriseknight2245]

I LOVE LOKIII

[@abbywilliamson4448]

Would it be better for me to start with heavier or lighter poles

[@krystalhenderson6364]

Depends, has your horse jumped before? If yes then dosent really matter but if he hasn't then probably heavier since if it's lighter and he knocks it, then he will learn that he can just knock it and it will just fall and yeah but if it's heavier, then they will learn that they have to pick up their feet, and they can't knock it over

[@virupakshahg]

I am buying a horse for the fist time for jumping and to learn and how should be the horse legs and boast structure any tips on this

[@AstridSilentbaker37]

Have you ridden before?

[@Camphorous]

Don't worry about conformation. It doesn't matter until upper levels. Focus on a horse that has experience and training.

[@miazielinski2215]

Wich breed is he?

[@hackettequine2059]

He is a warmblood 😊

[@i_highly_dislike_people]
