When jumping from the gallop, a horse must be balanced, collected, and able to jump out of balance in a fluid and controlled manner with confidence. A horse that fails to collect at the approach to the jump, or that fails to jump out of balance on the approach to the jump, is said to have jumping faults. The most common faults are leg-slip, too-close-behind, too-high in the air, too-soon after take-off, too-late after take-off, and false step on landing. Each fault has different causes and solutions, but in general these faults are all related to poor balance. A horse with good balance should be able to change direction easily and be comfortable at any speed. Therefore, a horse that has jumping faults is usually also unbalanced on the flat or on the cross-country course. The jump course is often the easiest place to identify and correct these issues. A poor rider also contributes to poor jumping performance because a rider who is not confident in their horse’s ability to jump correctly may hesitate, slowing the horse down and causing the horse to become even more unbalanced and fall behind from the jump. Here are some tips on how to ride your horse to improve your own performance and avoid these problems at the next event.
What are the common failures in the horse jumping world?
In the horse jumping world, there are few things more disappointing than watching a horse with lots of potential fail to jump out of the gate. Unfortunately, this is something that many people experience on a regular basis. Many people jump at lower levels with little experience or training, so mistakes are expected.However, if you plan on jumping at a higher level and competing, you need to be prepared for these kinds of things.There are many possible reasons for these kinds of failures, but here are some of the most common ones:
Too much too soon - Many jumpers make the mistake of trying to jump too soon after they have been jumping. This is often done because they don’t want to miss a chance to jump. However, this can be detrimental to your horse’s jumping performance. Horses generally need a few weeks to adjust to jumping, and jumping too soon after getting used to the sport can cause stress and a decrease in performance.
Too little too late - This is very similar to the above mistake. Many jumpers try to jump too late after they have been jumping. This can also be a big mistake because your horse may not have had enough time to recover from their last jump. This can also cause stress and a decrease in performance.
Too much or too little distance - This is usually a problem for younger horse jumpers. Young horse jumpers will sometimes jump for short distances without realizing it. In general, you should aim to jump your horse at their own ability, which may be slightly less than what they are capable of. Horses need distance to build up speed and momentum, and you should not be risking injury by jumping too short.
Too much speed - This can happen when you are new to jumping and your horse is feeling good. Horses can get so caught up in the moment that it feels like they are flying through the air. However, you should never attempt to jump with this kind of speed. It is important to remember that jumping is a controlled sport and the horse is travelling a much slower speed than they are in the ring.
Too much energy - This is another mistake that is often committed by inexperienced jumpers. Horses should not be forced to jump at their highest level of energy. They should be allowed to settle into the course, so that they are as comfortable as possible when jumping.
