Thinking about it tho thats what I do, the inside leg swings forward and I sit as it grounds, therefore the outside foreleg would be back - THEREFORE I sit when the outside foreleg is back as explained above
Changing the diagonal...

It doens't matter to use SJ'ers anyway...we never trot
Well, unless your name is John and you ride a horse called Peppermill, and you're approaching one of the biggest combinations allowed under international rules of course

Sorry but that's Balls
- you shold teach all SJ's to jump well over 3ft from a trot, it requires more effort than from canter and builds up the muscles.
I do this occasionally to train my lazy boys to put a bit more effort in.

Well firstly, the comment was made tongue in cheek...
...but I also know of at least one very highly regarded coach (has been an Olympic SJ Team coach !), who would say that he never jumps his horses from a trot. 'You don't jump from a trot in the ring so why do it at home ?' (His words, not mine).
I have two horses, one whom I regularly jump from a trot, the other who doesn't get the point of it.
I have no strong opinion either way though

Oh I know it was tongue in cheeks hence the "
"
I think jumping from a trot is very useful for youngsters, that way they can near enough all jump 3ft from a walk, which is handy when they are stopping to look at jumps.
I do it less with my more experienced horse - so maybe the coach doesn't do anything under 1.20m which you definitely wouldn't do from a trot?

Oh okay.....didn't realise you had seen the irony in my original post
It's also my more experinced horse who doesn't do the trotting into fences thing btw.
The trainer in question was demonstrating over all sorts of different heights though...from a single small x-pole, to a grid finishing with an oxer at about 1.50m lol!
Another very highly rated trainer though nearly always starts off over a small fence from trot
Horses (and trainers) for courses I guess. They have both been very successful in their time, so I don't suppose one is right and the other wrong
