I have a show jumping competition next week, and I think I could use some more practice. How can I prevent my horse from continuing to canter after jumping instead of trotting (apart from pushing him further)? After jumping, he always halts and returns to a trot, and when I try to push him, he suddenly drops his head. Do you have any tips on what I could do?

Loading...Hello, As my question already states, I am wondering whether I could buy my “dream horse”. So we've had a school horse at the stables for about a year now, I think she belongs to our RV. When we got her I was the first to "break her in" and get her used to her…
Hello, today I'm going riding. I'm always really scared to go when I'm there and ride. How can I get rid of this fear? Please no words like “find another hobby!” Good bye
I have a question: Can I still ride a 1.40m pony at 1.80m, or what is the minimum height the pony should be? I'd really like to try riding a pony. Thanks in advance. Lg
My 13-year-old mare got a new saddle on Monday. The saddler adjusted the saddle, and everything fit perfectly. However, when riding she kicked out at the walk. I hadn't ridden her properly for a few days, so I could only lunge her. Could it be the saddle that is causing it to kick out?
Hello, I have a Spanish horse with a slightly curved back and am looking for a suitable saddle. I think the Acavallo Mantegna sounds fantastic! (Also the price-performance ratio). The only problem is that I can't find a saddler who can lend it to me to try on… Unfortunately, there isn't a used one nearby…
Hi, after I've been through the riding schools here in my area and the quality is really miserable, there's no fun at all and the private lessons are way overpriced on top of that (80€ for a 30 minute beginner lesson), I thought of an alternative after my stressful phase. I'm just not sure if…
Well, yeah, if there’s 1 week before the tournament, you don’t really need to start, don’t you?! You can’t, neither you nor the horse, and you will certainly not get it in a week. There are no tips from the net of unknown people who can’t even see it in real terms.
I don’t expect you to go a “real” tournament, but just a rider competition. For for an LPO tournament, you need the corresponding badge, which includes a certain basic knowledge of elite skills. They do not seem to be present and the horse does not seem to be appropriately trained, possibly not at all in a muscular position.
Where’s your coach? Please never jump alone, but learn under qualified instructions, optimally on a horse that it can. Everything else is Murks, harms the horse – and is dangerous!
Yeah, I know, but I just wanted some tips, nothing else.
Honestly, don’t start!
You have to learn how to jump.
Moreover, jumping is always life-threatening for both, especially if you don’t know! It’s not fun!
Please just learn and learn again! Jump!
The text is somewhat blurred – does it wear or do it now after the jump?
What does your riding instructor say, who hopefully asked a jumper?
Precisely for jumping here tips can become life-threatening – of course, it would be advisable to go to jumps with more energy in general. You haven’t found your flow yet. But that can go full of pants depending on your understanding!
So please hold to the advice of your riding instructor – who sees you and the horse on site!
