Make Good Riding Your Habit



Correct Fundamentals help you "do the right things right".



As a rider, you need to put the fundamentals in place so that the right things happen by habit. Good riders ride well, because their right habits are so ingrained into their philosophy and their thought processes that they do routine things without thinking.



Developing the correct habits is a bit like instilling good manners into children and teaching them to say "please" and "thank you". This can be quite…

A Safety Checklist for You and Your Horse

My Top Tips: Part 3

Please enjoy tips 21-30. I'm a big fan of number 23!





21. Good technique isn’t just about what the horse does over the jump.



22. When jumping a combination, don’t ride into it with too much pace because your horse will learn to jump flat and run on the landing. Give him time to adjust his weight onto his hocks.



23. Canter, rhythm, line. Get it right every time.



24. The better the approach the better the chance of the horse jumping…

commented on Tim Stockdale's blog post 'An Exercise for a Proper Approach'
why 13.5 meters (approx.44 ft) ? 3 level strides would be 36 ft allowing only 8 ft for the pole and take-off distance f rom the jump
