No matter how capable or well educated your horse may be, both his happiness and any long-term success are dependent on his being correctly ridden. In this tape Captain Phillips explains the forward jumping seat and how to maintain perfect harmony and control over the horse when jumping. The rider's position and application of the aids are dealt with in great detail stage by stage, including the line, the turn, the approach, the take-off, through the air, the landing and getaway. Also included are a number of exercises designed to enable the rider to develop an "eye for stride" thus ensuring his horse meets every jump at the correct point of take-off.
