This is so helpful! Although I have jumping experience, I’ve never had a trainer work on MY position. My “position” over jumps was push hands forward and pray

So glad to hear, thanks!

One day could you please do a video about the different classes in the USA? Also the differences in the horses used for the different classes? Like what is the difference between a hunter, an equitation horse and an open jumper? As an Australian, the whole hunter and equitation over fences is a mystery.

Zoey, PLEASE do more vids like this!!!!

Sure thing!

I loved this! Could you please make little eq tutorials more into depth on individual techniques and what helped you develop strength doing those things? Like half seating the canter, sitting the canter, posting/sitting trot, ways of riding the canter and when to use them, and doing different exercises without stirrups? I’m so lost about what to even do with my body when I’m half seating and I can’t move fluidly and I just wind up flailing and I would really appreciate some guidance about the basics of how I move in half seat canter:)

Could not click fast enough lol. Your equitation is goals!!!

@@ZLEquestrian I absolutely did! Thank you!

I have to be honest, everything you do with your horses brings back so many great memories of when I had horses... Just keep being you and sharing :-)

Up-up-downs at the trot are also good for making sure you are balanced. What sort of phrases do you use (on yourself and students)? I love hearing these because everyone says things differently and visualization (or little pep talks) helps me a ton. (“If you can stop you can slow down.”) Also that hose nozzle

Bounces are THE BEST for your position. I also had trainers make me drop my reins into the bounces and put my hands out in order to develop body independence from my hands. This will also teach you to keep your abs engaged in case something happens (refusal, chip, etc.).

love the video! even though jumping isn't my main focus in riding i still enjoy your videos!

Thanks for the Amazing Tips!!!

Such a pleasure to watch you ride!

Love this video. I’m just starting on couple jumps recently. I think watching videos like this and doing these on my own would help me.

Love this Zoey! 🥰

This was so helpful! Great tips and exercises. BTW, love your breeches Zoe - where are they from?? Thanks so much for all your useful vlogs🥰

nice

Any tips for not pinching with your knee when you drop your stirrups ?

Could you do a video on how to post the trot without stirrups? I've been riding for 14 years and I still can't figure out how to without gripping with the knees...

The video is amazing!! I wanted to ask you a question? When I approach the jump it's fine when I takeoff it's fine but when I land my bum goes almost behind the saddle even when my lower leg is in the correct place, why does that happen? Aren't I engaging my core enough, I'm totally clueless??

Totally unrelated to the subject of the video, what brand of breeches are those?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

How tall is Checkers? Beautiful lead changes btw!

@@ZLEquestrian omg he was flying over those jumps like a taller horse. He's beautiful. I love your videos!

I always struggle with not folding enough and straightening up too soon over the jump. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to work on this? (Also worth noting, I only jump for fun, I'm a dressage rider so I haven't gotten jumping lessons, I've jumped up to 1m but it was a single fence)

I’m no professional, but the tips given to me were to press the neck until you feel the horse lane on the other side for straightening up too soon.

They're just some random cheap ones, no idea. Sorry!

I like the bounce exercise. He’s very handsome. Riding style looks stiff backed, so I am thinking this is California?? Position; shoulders, hips, heels good, but where is your release? Your elbows are out and you hands never come off neck or withers. it looks like there is a lot air between elbow and body. Why the stiff straight arms, and hands down….Curious?

I couldn’t agree more but everyone is taught a little differently

The only reason I clicked on this video is bc that hack sits so low on the nose It should be 2-3 fingers down from the cheekbone. Right now it sits on the fragile bone
