on 8/8/2006 You will always do good if you try to do your best! Keep a good rhythm and good balance around the jumping course. If you are good enough; do a nice show, change the rein walk a couple of strides then a figure of eight in trot canter on both reins.

on 1/23/2006 Make sure your horse is properly warmed u, or they will have a harder time keeping the pace. Also, keep your reins steady, but don't let your horse lunge forward or speed up before the jump. That could make them get off balance. I would work with your horse at home on the 'lunging forward' or 'speeding up' problem so at competition you can keep your reins steady and get better points.

on 11/22/2005 When you are going around the jumps, try to keep the same canter rhythm. Count one-two-one-two in your head with the stride of the horse. If the rhythm stays the same,the jumps are probably going to be better.
