    Umm, seriously? A horse is supposed to bend at the neck. When there soft in the neck, they are soft in the rib cage. Aka they are controlled and it will be easier in to jump because they are supple.

    my horse is green, while jumping she needs a really fast place or she falls on the jump. she can jump 5ft and we have only need doing about 1ft fences recently. how can i help her jump properly with a good pace and jumps it nicely with a good balance?

    +Katies Channel Balance over jumps comes from balance on the flat. I would work on the flat to improve her balance, as well as jump short gymnastics to help her pace herself. Work on lifting her upper body through the jump with your legs and reins so she doesn't feel the need to fly over a jump to clear it; maybe stop just before a very low rail and then see if she can hop over it from a walk or standstill.

    How could you help a horse that rushes after a fence? i have recently brought a mare and she does have a very long stride and tends to run ahead after any jumps she does, she struggles with doubles so I'm going to o through this with her with poles on the floor first and do small cross poles\verticles with her!:)

    Try doing a tight circle before the jump it slows them down but also teaches them to listen to aids x

    Gemmaloves Rocky Jasmine probably has the best idea with doing a tight circle. There is a horse at my lesson barn who always rushes after landing from the first jump, and my trainer said he does it because he thinks speeding up will help him regain balance, when in reality slowing down would help him. I try to counterract that by moving my center of balance back slightly by leaning ever so slightly back to try to encourage him to slow down. Usually this is immensely helpful, although sometimes he is very willful and won't listen. XD

    Gemmaloves Rocky I have the same problem. Try breaking the jumping up with flatwork. You can take a low X or cavaletti, and then take some circles, or throw in some halts. Sometimes your horse just needs to get out of the "jump go jump go" mentality. This method is immensely helpful for me. Also, if she is misbehaving, not just rushing, you can halt, back up, and keep working, or she might learn that misbehavior gets her out of the fence. When she does rush, don't give a reaction. Just calmly slow her down, and break up the jumping. Sorry for the long comment, but this is usually very helpful for me

    Gemmaloves Rocky Sorry this is a late reply. My pony used to do exactly the same thing. It might sound really simple, but the key for me was to find the perfect balance between hand and leg for show jumping, to get the best quality canter I could. Another exercise you can do (which might be tricky at first, and don't do this is if your horse often stops), is to halt right before your fence. Start off coming into it at a trot, and halt right before. Repeat the exercise in a canter, do it about 3 times before going to jump the fence. Hopefully, your mare should listen to your leg and your cue to jump instead of rushing into the jump. You can also do this after the fence. As an alternate method, place 2 canter poles before and after your jump so your horse has to keep a steady stride before and after. If you're still having a rushing issue, I hope this'll help (:

    +Samantha Chan The use of the term paces in this video; I am assuming is the human paces (1 stride of a human walk) between the fences. Because 6&1/2 (the example at the beginning) is similar to what a short one stride would be in a grid. :)

    It also helps round their back along with helps them use their hind end more. In rounding their back and dropping their head the chances for things like swayback is drastically reduced.

    The position is for the owners. It doesn't help them do anything because when you look and horses free jumping, you see that their head isn't touching their chest in that position. It's not kind to keep the form on the horses head. People do it because good looks helps you win in a competition.

    Says someone who rides her horse in spurs just because "my trainer wants me to" and "if I don't bring them then she will put them on me anyway so to save trouble I will put them on" Save trouble? If you actually find something wrong with this video but wear spurs because "if i didn't bring them she would put some on me so why not"you have a highly impaired sense of judgement.
