Hey,
Just asking for your opinions really. I watched a video on you tube recently of a girl (show jumper) jumping one of her horses in draw reins. She was doing grid work, ending over a big fence about 1.30/1.35. but she is jumping her horse in draw reins. I always thought this was a bad idea, as horse is not given his head etc and if you loose a rein if the horse takes a long stride or something, you could get the rein under the leg, and I was taught from PC at a very young age, never jump in draw reins. I would love to put the video up but I wont. If you want to see it PM me and I will send you the link.
Any way what are your thoughts? Am I just being stupid and is jumping in draw reins ok now!
