Purchase options and add-ons

Balance, rhythm, pace, and straightness are the keys to every great hunter/jumper ride, whether on the flat or over fences. 101 Hunter/Jumper Tips offers suggestions for achieving these goals, as well as solutions to basic and more advanced schooling problems, using techniques from successful riders and trainers that will improve everything from your horse''s saddle fit to your own position and mental approach.

For example:

To strengthen and test your position, practice transitions at all gaits while in your two- and three-point position. Walk to trot, trot to canter, canter to trot, canter to walk, walk to canter . . . even incorporate a halt now and then from any gait. If you have trouble maintaining your position through the transitions, you may need to work on deepening your heel and balancing your weight over your horse''s center of gravity.

If you find yourself falling forward in the downward transitions, you may be gripping too much with your knees and creating a pivot point. Concentrate on distributing the contact evenly from your calf up through your inner thigh. If you fall back into the saddle, your legs are probably slipping forward. First, try shortening your stirrups a hole or two. If you still fall back, focus on keeping your heels deep and directly below your center of gravity. The more you practice this exercise, the easier it will become.

And remember, there''s no shame in grabbing mane!

With sections on tack and equipment, training, preparation for showing, and competition itself, this is a reference guide that no hunter/jumper rider or trainer should miss.

3.0 out of 5 stars Murky tips, lots of repetition

While I can see how it might be fun to read all the little stories in it, the book can mostly be summed up with "learn how to keep your rhythm."

I agree with one of the other reviewers, a good rider should easily be able to do all the exercises in the book. For the price, a rider just beginning jumping would find a lot of really useful tips in this book.

The book has some good advice. I don't know how helpful it would be to the very experienced rider outside of it is always good to see it from another person's point of view. I found it informative and thankfully not over indulgent with explanations.

It is not what I was expecting. Some of the tips aren't that useful for me. It will make a great gift for a beginner jumper rather than a reference for me as an instructor.
