MyHorse Daily Releases a Free Guide from Jim Wofford and Steven Weiss on Horse Jumping
Fine Tuning Horse Jumping: Hunter-Jumper Expert Steven Weiss and Former Olympics’ Equestrian Jim Wofford on the Horse-and-Rider Takeoff
Boulder, CO, October 12, 2011 --(PR.com)-- MyHorse Daily, a new online community featuring daily articles from industry experts, how-to videos and horse care tips, announced the release of a new free guide on training for horse owners, Fine Tuning Horse Jumping: Hunter-Jumper Expert Steven Weiss and Former Olympics’ Equestrian Jim Wofford on the Horse-and-Rider Takeoff. MyHorse Daily members may download the guide for free at: http://myhorse.com/free-guides/fine-tuning-horse-jumping-hunter-jumper-expert-steven-weiss-and-former-olympics-equestrian-jim-wofford-on-the-horse-and-rider-takeoff/
When it comes to riding horses over obstacles, timing is everything. The secret to finding good takeoff distances consistently is a combination of two basic skills: staying on the correct track and maintaining a medium pace. Hunter-Jumper Expert Steven Weiss shows readers how to achieve a medium pace over a single fence with step-by-step articles and clearly labeled photographs. Weiss’ exercises build from starting the slower, collected pace, to practicing a medium to extended canter over ground poles before finally adding a fence to a collected canter.
Building on Weiss’ advice on pace, former Olympic equestrian and Practical Horseman Magazine contributor Jim Wofford shares his exercises for improving a rider’s timing so that timing becomes an essential skill. In this free guide, Wofford begins by showing riders how to set up obstacles properly, using easy-to-follow instructions and a visual guide. Beginning with proper gymnastics ensures that riders know the training questions they are asking their horses.
By practicing these exercises from Weiss and Wofford, hunter-jumper riders will soon see their pace, timing and form improve as they ride over fences.
