Jumping practise

[~Howrse~Mad~]

I have only just started jumping my horse and he is really good, but he takes the jump from far back and leaps it high, my position flops, so i was wondering besides from practising the two point position in different gaits and besides from just practise, practise, practise...what else can i do, i love his quirky jumping but is they're anyway to make it easier to sit to, Thank you.

Have you tried a placing pole before the jump? This teaches the horse where to take off

I haven't tried this, i will try it next though, thank you for your suggestion

It's okay! We use it at college all the time!

Lessons - someone to put up grids and get him to work properly and hit a decent take off spot and use himself properly will make the world of difference.

With regards to you, endless two point, short stirrups and someone on the ground to help out.
