Hiya, I'm puzzled with how to land when jumping.
I've read books, taken lessons, watched videos. But nothing can actually change me.
I read that you should naturally follow the horses motion and you don't fold. If I don't fold, I will get launched.
And I tend to have a defensive way of landing. I lean right back and slip my riens. Like people do for drop fences out Xc. Yet I'm talking a 1 meter showjump. I fell off around a year ago jumping 90cm, as I didn't sit up quick enough on landing, ever sinse I've had a Xc position on landing.
I've fallen off many times, worse than that, but it just feels safer that way.
I'll post a picture of my landing position, the jump in the picture was around 105cm, which as you can see the horse thinks is easy . He thought he'd retired when i was jumping 30cm, he's really taken a live for jumping now I've got more confidence.
I can't attach the photo hear, it will be in replys
