I've recently taken up jumping to cross train with my dressage. It's definitely different (like how I keep sending the school horse into a gallop because, as it turns out, you really don't dressage sit the canter 😂), but super fun!!! So, could you give me your best jumping advice for flat and over fences? And if there's any jumping lingo you can think of that doesn't really cross over to dressage, please explain it to me! I've had some trouble with that 🤣

@HannahO Last mini course I rode, I went into a grid, got left behind on the second and then promptly took the last two looking like I was going for a gallop 🤣 I'm still figuring out where I need to be and getting my stride, but I learned pretty quick that it's hard to be dressage pretty and just get over the fence! Maybe I'll figure out how to mesh the two later 😂

Biggest thing I think is that it’s a lot better to be left behind than it is to jump before the horse does. Jumping is all about effective riding not pretty riding
