so you don't miss anything. Alright let's get started so these tips are just for
you for improving your equitation round and these are gonna be a rapid-fire so
get your notepad get your things so you can start right now and write these down
number one get to all the jumps this means no popping no chips and no long
spots get to each and every jump nicely and certainly no refusals number two
have an even pace throughout your course and this means note going fast not going
slow but an even steady rhythm having an even pace makes things look effortless
and flawless and that's the kind of thing you want to portray to the judge
when you do in your equitation class what is the worst mistake you'll remain
in equitation class put it in the comments below I like to hear what it is
the worst mistake I've ever seen as a judge, anyway, is a rider stopping in
front of me asking me which jump they should do next so stopping and asking
the judge which jump they should do next. It's not a good thing to do an in an equitation class.
No. 3 I get asked this a lot - what happens if your horse
knocks a rail during the equitation class? It's gonna count against you or
is it not gonna count against you? So here's the answer to that. Sometimes it
does - Sometimes it won't and it depends on the judge, but if your horse
is having a bad day in rolls of rail and you've got to that spot perfectly and
everything was lovely then that's up to the judge to decide whether or not
they're gonna mark you down for hitting that.
knocking that rail down on the other hand if it's the riders error because
you didn't get the horse into the correct spot for that jump then
yes you were gonna get dinged quite severely for that rail that came down.
Major errors caused from riders errors will be major deduction from your score
So don't knock the rail down. No. 4
this is kind of what equitation is all
about have it have an excellent position means that you have your eyes up, your
head up, looking up to where you're going weight down in your heels and everything
is where it should be. Not rounded slouching shoulders, or slopping around
at the tack. And think in the back of your brain, what does the judge gonna
want to see me do here. For example if you're doing a rollback turn does the
that judge want to see you looking to where you're going.
No. 5
effectively and efficiently being effective in your riding is what
equitation is all about. So if you see that you need to move up then move your
horse up without a great big deal about it and if you need to steady don't make
a big issue about it just sit up sit down and get the horse to come back to
you. Any big move with your body is going to reflect in your score the judge can
see that you're sitting up and sitting back way behind the vertical see-sawing
on the horse's mouth that's gonna reflect in your score so ride
effectively, ride efficiently and make it look as effortless as possible.
No. 6 - is ride smooth and make nice smooth round corners. We want to see the
horses bending in the corners and riding around the corners on the correct lead
if you don't have your lead do a smooth lead change. Sometimes it's almost better
to get the lead over top of the fence before the turn so that you can
concentrate on getting that horse balanced and having the horse bending in the
correct direction. One thing most judges don't like to see is the horse counter
bending around the corner that's a sign that there's not enough inside leg on
and how do you expect a horse to go around on the correct lead when you're
not bending in the direction of the lead so make sure you ride your horse
properly around the corners and get the correctly nice smooth corners that will
help you get to the next jump properly No. 7 Get the horse to the jump
properly and once you're there allow the horse to jump properly this way when
you're over top of the jump you can show your equitation
skills to their best ability if you'd like to improve your equitation way more
