Hi all, this may seem like a silly question but i have been comparing my horse to others and noticed that when my boy lands he throws his legs down so they are really straight as soon as he is slightly over the jump, most other horses leave their legs bent and slowly let the legs loosely straighten and what my question is will this effect him any way because i do worry that it puts more strain than needed on his shoulders and generally up him leg? i know there is nothing i can do if i do find out any info its just interesting to know

though i do know all horses have very different styles of how they jump and i can notice the perfect baliscule but i haven't seen many horses jump like mine, he is a 16,1hh TB if thats helpful
