Exercise For Horses That Rush Jumps
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 10 Jun 2012
This can be a good exercise for horses that tend to rush and get strong in front of jumps. Notice how the rider quietly repeats a transition to walk in front of the placing pole, then softens and allows the horse to jump without fighting with him to slow down, allowing the placing poles to do the work of regulating the horse. Quiet and patient repetition of this exercise (with lots of praise!) can really encourage a horse to begin to relax and wait.
