To "release" over a jump, means to lean forward over the horses neck, (not too far).. This allows the horse to get an arching shape with his neck and body.. Check out a few photo's of some really good riders and you'll get what I mean.. Have a look where their hands are.. This is releasing..
That depends on the horse she's riding. On many horses, yes
Ther isn't a set button you just have to be galloping (NOT cantering) and point the horse at the jump. If the angle is right the horse will jump. If it doesnt like the angle, it will run to the side (which is SO frustrating)
It might be the type of jump that scares him. If the jump is brightly colored or has loose pieces it might scare him. It also might be that you are doing something wrong. Have a friend or riding instructor watch you and the horse jump.
true
I think you just let the horse canter to it, and it normally jumps of its own accord. That's what you do on My Horse and Me for Wii. Sorry if I'm wrong.
What's to stop you? I've ridden a riding pony at a western show!
To ride a horse towards a jump you'll need a horse that has seen or be over jumps before, otherwise the horse could spook and try to bolt away from the jump. Once warmed up and riding in a good frame aim the horse at the jump dead center and move into a forward trot or canter. Once the horse gets about 6 feet from the jump give a tiny squeeze with your calves to let him know to go over it. The horse should jump the obstacle without much of a problem. If it is the horses first time jumping you may want to grab some mane as they tend to jump very big over their first jump.
It depends on the horse and it depends on the dog.
Expirienced - eg horse riding you can walk trot canter and jump on a 2nd/3rd pony and control them accuratly
Jump on a rail while riding a thing that can grind and that's it.
YES there are many videos on youtube of people doing that =]
i think it might be r butI'm not so sure. Because it almost looks like you go through the jump.
