this is me and voltaire jumping one of our first jumps at the try out! i know my release could of been better, but okay it’s too late. I know my leg slipped back too so don’t worry but please judge horse and rider
and sorry about the blur did not have the best photographer at the time












Because the highest point of a triple-bar is way at the back of the fence, and the front is so much lower, the proper take-off point is very close to the front rails. Looking at your horse’s hind feet, I can tell, that your distance WAS TOO LONG! Fortunately, he is sooooo scopey….it didn’t bother him in the least. Most horse’s couldn’t have made it! Because of the WIDTH of a triple-bar. they require a longer release from the rider….YOU!
yeah i know i was just not used to such a big horse with my horse i would of got closer and had a better distance and i had not much release because he was heavy in front and besides it was a combination and was short for him :p but thanks so much will keep in mind if i ride him ever again
one of the suggestions i can make is to extend your legs a few more inches to get out of the saddle a little more. by doing that it’ll help you extend forward and aid in giving a bigger release. other than that i agree with what rob said, but you guys look like a good pair!
oh and one more thing… heel down!!
thanks any this is not even my horse so i am more confident with my other horse and so i have a much better release and my heel is so much better but thanks for all the suggestions i hope it’ll help
I think you look pretty good, just work on those things Rob said.
