Our monthly Jump Clinics are always planned ahead of clinic day, and really can vary month to month in terms of the exercises we do.
Sometimes we work on gymnastic grid work, other times we have a full course set out, and some months we plan out a simple, yet effective jump exercise. No matter the set up, all of our exercises can be simplified, or made more technical, to suit horse and rider ability.
It always makes us smile when a rider comes into our clinic, and say's the words, 'Oh this looks simple!' And whilst our jump exercise yesterday may have looked fairly simple, it certainly surprised our riders by requiring much more 'riding' than they first thought!
Fours jumps, and six canter poles, with a slight twist on a figure of eight. This exercise really highlighted when the rider didn't prepare and plan, particularly through the turns, which resulted in loss of balance and rhythm. It proved a good, fun challenge, with some riders taking on the exercise as ground poles alone - still hugely beneficial to their stage of training.
Our next Jump Clinic is Wednesday 21st October - the event will be published via our page, and on www.equoevents.com, to book shortly.
As we head into the colder and darker months, our 55m x 30m indoor arena is an invaluable asset to winter training - places on a first come, first served basis.
