Learning to jump dvd

[fatponee]

After 20 years of being petrified, I've managed to attempt some little jumps with my horse this year. I actually quite enjoyed it although I'm sure my position is awful! I've never been taught to jump and wondered if anyone knows of any training dvds that I could watch over the winter? I've been reading lots of books and am planning on having lots of lessons in the New Year. Can anyone help?

i love the jumping series that Tim Stockdale did, i have all 3 of his videos and i think he is a brilliant trainer!!

Ah I've seen them and did wonder if they'd be any good for the rider or were just aimed at training the horse? I'm a massive fan of Tim too :D Thanks for your help.

the first one in the series in particular goes through pole work and the riders position

Just a quick update as I haven't been able to get online over Christmas. Somehow I got a massive confidence boost on Christmas Eve and Bailey and I managed to jump a 2" 1' upright!! :D Can't believe we did it. I think my face may have been screwed up with concentration but Bailey was a star and just sailed over the jump. I'm off to find those Tim Stockdale dvds in the sales now.
