Awesome idea and much needed! Jude 🐴

🏇 RAISING THE BAR — JUMP BETTER BEFORE YOU JUMP HIGHER 🏇
We’re excited to launch Raising the Bar, a new Pony Club NSW showjumping education series focused on helping riders develop the skills they need before simply moving the fences higher.

Showjumping isn’t just about height.
It’s about learning to:
🐴 Ride a balanced, consistent rhythm
👀 Read and understand a course
📏 Find the right lines and distances
🏇 Develop an effective jumping position
🎯 Improve accuracy, straightness and control
🧠 Make good decisions around a course
💪 Build confidence through correct technique
✅ Know when you and your horse are genuinely ready to move up

Over the coming months, Our Raising the Bar series will share practical exercises, coaching tips and training ideas that riders can work on at home, at rallies and during lessons.

Because sometimes the biggest improvement doesn’t come from putting the rail up another hole.

It comes from riding the same height better.

🌟 Better technique. Better decisions. Better rounds. More Wins. Then raise the bar.
