[superstar565]

After looking at a recent photo i have realised that my lower leg position is NOT improving when i'm jumping. it is just alway so far back. is there anyone who has gotten out of this habit or any excersies that wil help??
thanks

Strap a few bricks to each foot....it works wonders!!!!

you could try a saddle that has bigger thigh rolls!! x

shorten your stirrups about 4 holes from normal length, thats what helps me!

Gridwork without stirrups, works wonders

I do the same, but then I look at pictures of Ellen Whittaker &amp; suddenly I dont feel that bad.

put a bit of nylon strap around your girth and stirrup iron, stitch some velcro so it can undo if you fell off

it helps! as your leg goes to go back your stirrup will not follow so it may help keep your leg in place.

if your jumping LARGE fences like 120m plus, your leg may move anyway.

its worth a try though
