The Effortless Rider®️ Jumping Course
From Cavaletti to Courses

In Lesson 1, discover the Biomechanics of Jumping.
What do both horse and rider need to do in order to jump effectively whether the distance is long or short and regardless of the height of the jump? » The Best Form for Horse and Rider to Jump » Learn why “getting into” two point position for the jump is one of the worst habits riders learn for jumping » How your saddle affects your jumping position |
In Lesson 3, Stabilize Your Position through specific exercises to practice in the saddle, I bet you will have never practiced two point in this way!
» Feel the “right” angle for your upper body – forward, but not leaning! » Find how to have your weight on your thigh, instead of on the horse’s neck » Practice all the phases of the jump – take off, flight, and landing, from the ease of standing still to find the best position |
In Lesson 5, we begin Work Over Poles with specific exercises in all three gaits, to develop different parts of your position. These pole combinations will get built into jumps and grids very soon! Here are just some of the exercises you will be practicing:
» Hand on Your Back » Hand on Your Head » Wave Behind You » Push on the Wall (show from ground too) » Arms to Side Over Poles » Ballet Arm Movements (on the ground and on the horse) » Push on Two Walls » Rotate Your Upper Body » Two Hands Forward |
In Lesson 6, you will Develop Your Following Hand, learning why a following hand and automatic release are so important and then working along in exercises on and off the horse to feel how effortless the release can be.
» The purpose of each type of release, including the real way to do a crest release (it’s probably different than what you have been taught) » How to practice the skills you need for automatic release, right from the start! |
