i really like how his examples of bad jump positions are so weird because it's probably so hard for him to look bad on purpose LOL

Understand that there is different position for begginner jumpers and advanced ones. The release is much different over a 2ft versus a 6ft. You should ride the horse to the base, and only lean forward as much as required for a release otherwise you will find yourself throwing yourself over the fence and unbalancing the horse. Do not throw your reins away, but maintain in rhythm with your horse to release properly. Maintain contact, but do not resist. This guy is a professional.

all these people commenting on his position in a negative way need a huge slap in the face xD He's the world class pro professional not you.

It looks as if ur foot is about to slip out of the stirrup but when u ride u look so secure 😊🐴

Tim Stockdale totally cried about KZbin comments whilst polishing his international grand prix trophies, oh and the medal of honour. I bet he thought about it when he broke his freaking neck and carried on 4 months later. Tim Stockdale is 'ard.

All these little kiddies giving critique is just hilarious Check out Tim Stockdale riding Fresh Direct K2 winning six bar at 2.05m in Franconville 2013 and see just how great a rider he is then stop making such fools of yourselves please

For all of those you think that this is a rong jumping position, think again. when jumping your hip angle is suppose to close and follow the horse, Tim Stockdale is one of the best Show Jumpers in the world. He knows what hes talking about :)

Why does this have to be so political? Most of these people commenting have no idea what they're talking about! Needless to say, Tim Stockdale is an amazing rider and everyone needs to stop commenting, saying unreasonable things such as "you're ripping his face off" or "this rider looks too hunched." This is a video coming straight from the pro's mouth, stop posting negative comments on a video that's giving professional advice please.

Great instruction and nice to see and English instructor rather than American. (nothing against the Americans but they tend to ride slightly different to us English). I am learning to jump again after years of not doing so due to a bad fall.I find it odd that my instructor is telling me to put my legs back behind the girth when getting in to jump position, hence why I am now watching the teaching clips. I see your legs do not look as if they are going behind the girth. Do your legs go behind the girth and it is such a small movement it is not noticeable? Any advice would be more than welcome. Thanks.

ziddley ik it's a year ago but I thought I would comment still, it could be perhaps as you go Over the jump your legs tend to swing forwards so if you have the mindset legs back then as they swing over the jump they are in the correct position 😊

Thanks so much i'll put that to practise.At my riding school there are a couple of jumping horses that can be a bit dodgy. I found it hard to trust them and i got left behind and i wasn't sure what the correct jumping posotion was. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

Anyone that thinks Tim Stockdale has a bad position should Google who he is and just cause your a supposed trainer for 14 yrs means nothing or that you weren't good enough to be a rider who competes internationally like Tim
@laragrove7511 жыл бұрын
Haha I've just realised I don't actually stand up in the stirrups at all, I just throw my upper body and y hands forward xD Better sort that out.

I don't see how any of you are in any position to state what is right or wrong about anything Tim has said or demonstrated here, or attempt at 'bettering' his advice. Since when we're any of you World Class, International Show Jumpers?

i would say yes, because surly you would need to fold more when you go over say a 4ft jump than what you would jump a 2ft jump!

This guy clearly know what he's talking about!But me and lots of people were never taught to jump like that. He basically said don't lean forward. When you are suppost to.I've been taught to fold at the hip and keep my bum back.So personally i'm gonna ignore this video,and keep to what my trainer says:)
@Veradaine12 жыл бұрын
You shouldn't actually do anything, your hip and thigh and lower back should be relaxed enough to follow the movement of a horse's back, and actually, when you see a distance to a jump, automatically going into your two-point is a good way to get thrown into the fence if your horse decides not to jump it. Stay positive (or supportive) with your leg and hand until you FEEL the horse start to jump, relax your hips, and you should naturally move in harmony with the horse! ;)
