A member asks: Is the crest release in the hunter division acceptable? Or, shall I position my hands against the neck close to the crest/mane?

Julie Winkel with Maplewood Stables responds: “A crest release is in fact resting your hands on the crest. A long crest release has more loop in the rein, while a shorter crest release is closer to the withers. Either is acceptable, as long as you are allowing your horse to use his head & neck in a natural way to jump his best. Additionally, riding ‘out of hand’ (also called an automatic release) by an accomplished rider can create a beautiful jump with immediate and invisible communication on the landing side.

A mane release doesn’t create the best jump in the hunters, but may display a dependable mount in the lower levels. Use the release that showcases your horse the best, without interfering!”

Read that last sentence again. 👌👌

By Andre Dignelli I get this question a lot: How do I get from A to B? How does an aspiring rider competing on a local circuit get an opportunity to break through to the top level? At Heritage, we understand this concept, because we were those people. We are that story.  Patricia [Griffith] ha...
