Your horse spends a lot of time evading the bit or bridle. I hope you have someone helping you with this. It looks to me like you guys could be a great team once you can get more commitment from your horse there.
Usually Reds fine and will come down on the bit easily. In the dressage particularly he was coughing and therefore could not keep his head down. Thanks for the comments
You can learn some much from watching you and your horse on video. That jump at the top of the cross country course looked like a duzie! Hoping his foot is back to normal soon so you can get back to work.
Oh it was! I almost fell off he did such a big jump. My friends were on the other side of the fence and gave me a lot of encouragement to sit back up and keep going which was great!
I would say your release was heading in the right direction but in the show jumping it looked like Red juts his nose out right as he gets over the fence. He gets pretty vertical as well and it can't be easy to maintain a nice release like that. He looks like he was a bit full of himself that day! Sometimes I wish my horse would get a bit full of himself versus his chronic stickiness.
I'm not a natural rider and have to work hard at everything when it comes to riding. But that doesn't matter because I love it, and it is worth it when I'm flying through the air on my horse, or galloping along a sandy beach. My horse fufils me.
Jack is a 15.2hh, 10 year old, black thoroughbred gelding. He was 3 years old when he was rescued off the racetrack. Before I had the opportunity to buy him, Jack was showjumped at successfuly at 1.20m and did a few One Day Events. We met in Septemeber of last year and I immediately fell in love. Since then, we have competed our first Pre-Training together and my confindence has sky rocketed. He is my soul mate.
