My Boys Jumping, Videos - CC welcome

[Deefa]

Took two of my boys to a camp and have some video of them doing some of the WH course. CC welcome but dont be to harsh please!
First is Goli, my 17.2 just turned 4yr old. The jumps are really to small for him hence the knock down but trying to work on slowing him down into the fence but also keeping him in front of my leg and he gets a little strong sometimes and leans on the bit a bit
Only him 3rd time he has ever seen a fence

Then my 8yr old Welsh boy, he is 15.1 and hoping to move him up to do open workers this year as had a good year doing novices last year. Working on keeping his canter uphill and him in my hands more rather than just bumbling along!

Looks like you're going to have a busy year ahead of you! I really like Goli and your older one made it look so easy!

How long was the camp on for?

The camp runs sunday to thursday with a different disapline every day (Dressage, Showing, WH and side saddle) It was my 6th year this time and love it!

Goli looks lovely! Seems to be enjoying himself and exciting for the future! Your older one looks good too, the only thing I would say is to concentrate on having the correct bend in between fences. Really think about bending him around your leg which will help to keep the shoulders out, and to acheive a straighter line into the fences. One of mine has the exact same problem! Otherwise looks great!

Really like your young horse, he's lovely - was the camp at Keysoe?

 

[Deefa]

Sarah - Will do.
DB - Yes it was at Keysoe

Also any excersizes to help either of them would be fab.
