Different Jumping Exercises | GoPro

This was a nice fun lesson where we basically just did a few different kinds of simple jumping exercises one after the other, including single fences, doubles, linking jumps together and a little grid at the end. At the time I thought the lesson could have gone a lot better as I really wasn’t riding that well, but actually looking back now I can see that (despite his rubbish jockey!) Magic did a super job and I really need to start appreciating how much he has improved in all aspects since he arrived at the start of the year! I felt so proud of him when I was editing this footage, because he certainly wouldn’t have have managed or enjoyed a lesson like this back in January :-) I can’t wait to see how well he goes when I get my act back together and we both continue to improve!

I also just want to make it clear that I am trying my hardest to keep Magic out into the corners after each jump, but he has an ingrained bad habit of motorbiking to the inside straight after a fence, particularly on his weaker right rein, and I am just not strong enough in my leg & core to keep a 500kg horse over to the edge of the school when they decide to go zoomies to the inside! Hopefully this habit will improve as he continues to strengthen in his flatwork (he’s already a lot more balanced after fences than he used to be and he will now happily go into the corners on the flat in canter, which used to be impossible for him), but I just wanted to assure you all that I am aware it is happening and I am working hard on the flat and during each jumping round to fix it as much as I physically can! :-)

QOTD: What have you achieved this year that you are most proud of? (doesn't have to be horse related!)
