In this video, I discuss "dropping the horse in front of the jump and what you need to know". I hear people on the sideline always tell riders this and it's the wrong focus as the rider shouldn't be carrying the weight of the horse in the rein. The horse should always go in self-carriage and the rein should be elastic, he shouldn't be balanced on the reins, he should be balanced in his own body. The reins are there to steer him, ask him to slow down, and where to place his neck or head.
I'd love to hear how your horse carries himself to the jumps so leave me a comment in the description below and I'll offer some tips if needed.
Together with TeQ clothing, I can bring you a great deal on the TeQ tights that I am seen wearing in this set of videos. The tights are super comfortable and the material on the inside thigh and leg really helps when you're trying to sit to the trot, sit a buck, or trying to stay connected when jumping. Buy the tights and get a belt for only $10.00 NZD.
