Stretch every day. If you do not have your splits, it will be harder to accomplish good, high, kicks. One of the best ways to improve is also just to practice every day. Make sure that your hip doesn't come up.

One of the most helpful stretches to get your kicks higher is to lie on your back and pull your leg as close to your nose as you can go, keeping both legs straight. Try to keep both legs in front of you (as in, in the same place as standing with your legs closed. Not too far in or out).

To stretch for your left and right splits, get on one knee. Put your hands-on either side of you, making sure that your weight is even and your hips are squared and centered. Slowly straighten your legs and keep your shoulders as far back as you can. Don't push yourself too far too quickly or you will hurt yourself. Stay for at least 30 seconds.

To stretch for your middle split, lie on your back with your butt as close to a wall as you can get, with your legs up in the air against the wall. Slowly open your legs and let gravity pull your legs apart as far as you can go. Stay for 5-10 minutes.

It is important to do these stretches every day to try to improve your flexibility. Your kicks will improve drastically. Keep on trying! Good luck.

Start by stretching your body. Next, do leg lifts and then high kicks on each leg. When you actually perform your jump make sure you have perfect technique. Keep your back straight, point your toes, use your legs, and keep your arm in a "T" motion.

How do you get a horse to not kick when you get on her?

Well, first make sure there is nothing wrong with your saddle because it may be that when you get on your saddle is creating a pressure point. You need to correct the issue. You may find it helpful to have a crop when you get on and give her a tap when she kicks out, you can even use your hand (you wont hurt her). It will also help if you use a firm voice and say "eh" just to make her aware that you mean business. If this doesn't work you can hobble her. If she is kicking out to the side you can actually buy kicking chains; if she is kicking straight out you can tie her back legs to her front legs. What you do is, you put them on then simulate the situation that she is kicking out. When she kicks out (if to the side she will pull her other back leg out from underneath her), (if straight out she will pull her front legs out from underneath her). Make sure you are NOT on her. She will most likely fall, but this will give her an unpleasant experience when she kicks. I have yet to deal with a horse that will kick after being hobbled. (it is not painful for them, it just teaches them a lesson)
