![]() This involves stretching your arms part way up the neck so you can follow the horse’s mouth while they jump and avoid catching them in the mouth. There are different types of releases that can be used, but the most common, especially with new jumpers, is the crest release. Giving your horse a proper release over fences is important. This aspect of the jump position is solely focused on your body folding at the hips and while your legs remain connected with the horse. When you fold at your hips to go into two point, you do not want this to alter where your legs sit. As such, there should be visible space between you and the horse’s neck. You want to support your own body without falling onto the horse’s neck. You want a straight back, flat shoulders and your eyes focused on what is in front of you: looking between the horse’s ears at the jump on your approach. Your torso can move forward and closer towards the horses’ neck in a folded position, with your pivot point being at your hips and waist. Your seat should be up out of the saddle but with your center of balance still remaining over the saddle, with much of your weight and balance falling onto the balls of your feet and into your heels as an anchor. Either of which might cause you to lose your balance and fall. Your position in the saddle is not only intended to help your horse out with their athletic potential and to clear the jump with ease, but also to keep you safe and in the tack without jumping too far ahead of, or behind, the motion. The reason why riders come out of the saddle and into the “two point” position over fences is for aerodynamic purposes-to allow for the horse to jump as easily as possible without hindrance from the rider. So, keep that head up and keep your eyes focused on where you are going and where you wish to direct your horse. Watching where you are going, and keeping your head up, will help your entire posture, as your shoulders tend to follow where your head goes. It can be tempting to look down at your horse, the jump, or even the ground, but this can result in piloting errors due to not being focused on where you are headed. You want to keep your head up and your eyes focused and aware of where you’re going. For jumping, this remark is really no different. Most of us have heard “eyes up” time and time again in lessons. Jumping definitely has a steep learning curve and it can seem like a lot to remember, but there are some simple ways you can break this down to make aspects of your jumping position easy to remember, and easy to practice, so that you and your horse can become jumping superstars! Breaking Down the Proper Jumping Position Head and Eyes This all starts with awareness of your body and how your position can affect the horse. To allow for your horse to jump to their best potential, you must learn how to be the type of rider who stays out of their way and sets them up for the utmost success over fences. Additionally, for your own safety as a rider, learning a secure jumping position will help keep you safe even when things don’t always go as planned.
