Getting a Horse to Jump

One More Lap · 09-30-07, 04:46 PM

Once you comfortably get used to riding your horse and you both become get used to each other, how do you get your horse to jump without you falling off and your horse not panicking?

It takes schooling yourself on a trained horse and schooling a "jumping green" horse, too. Beginning with poles on the ground, not fences. It would take too long to explain that in here. Lessons are the way to go and an experienced rider to train the horse.

I can't imagine getting a horse to jump is easy, I've never tried it. Good luck on it.

How do you stop a horse from jumping? Horse naturally jump and the trick is to train the horse to jump when and where you want. Find a trainer that knows how to teach, and start small.

When you are show jumping a horse you give your clues on what jump and when to jump. As you approach the jump, you give the horse a view of the jump. As you come up to the jump through body clues you work with the horse to adjust the stride and jump the rails.

I have rode before, but never during a time the horse/or I wanted to jump. I have a feeling that my luck would go bad and I would fall off. I think though, the bond with a horse and its rider are key to this, the more comfy you and he/she are, the better the chances of staying on. The horse knows what its doing, you really don't.

I'm also interested how to make a horse jump. So I tried searching for methods on how to train a horse to jump. Here is what I have found and hope that this would help everyone who are still in the process of teaching their horses how to jump.
