⭐️ Featured photo: me and Salty, circa 2017 ⭐️ Having a strong and stable lower leg for jumping allows us to ride more forward and more "with" our horse rather than "behind" or "against" them. This helps us find and hold our own balance while helping our horses find and hold theirs. If we are constantly changing our positions (riding tall to the fence, sitting down in the saddle, then throwing ourselves in a two point to avoid being left behind, landing ahead of the motion and often bracing hands on our horse's neck, and finally thrusting our bodies back up right) then we are constantly changing and chasing some form of balance while throwing our horses off balance as a result. My students learn the importance of a three point position (contact points: independent leg to hand connection with a lowered seat touching the saddle allowing for a rider's shoulders to be forward with their horse's shoulders). The intent: with a strong lower leg and three point position, the rider can stay forward with their horse's center of balance before, during and after the jump! Disclaimer: every discipline is different, and every trainer has their own style! As long as those trainers are producing safe, smart and strong riders, their way is the right way!
