full stop

[NewForestMad]

my pony jumps gr8 but when she lands she stops FULL STOP what should i do:confused:

[Herbie's mummy]

After EVERY jump?
it just stops....compleatly dead?:S

[SJ-Mad]

and on doubles

[NewForestMad]

yeah

[SJ-Mad]

when your goin over the jump whack her on the bum

[ImaLittleBoston]

Maybe you should carry a crop, and when your landing start putting leg on, wilson used to do it to

[NewForestMad]

last time my teacher got the whip and as soon as we landed whacked her she bombed off and bucked one time i even fell off

[Jetstreem]

when your goin over the jump whack her on the bum

:eek: :mad: That will hardly help!!!! :mad: :mad: Then the pony will associate jumping a jump with getting hit, and then will refuse to jump the jump point blank!

NFM if you pony is stopping after jumps try and not let her stand still for too long, if she stops immediatley try and push her back up to walk trot or canter and ride her away from the jump, once you are far enough away from the jump make a huge fuss of her. Try and make sure on landing you have your legs on so she knows she has to keep going.

Ok i could be on the total wrong track here but... Have you had her saddle checked? It could be causing her pain when she lands? Just a thought...

[NewForestMad]

good idea but we just had a new 1

[Herbie's mummy]

I know lazy ponies to trot after jumps even walk, but never just stop compleaty dead.
It sounds like she is in pain..........i'm not sure......

[SJ-Mad]

no cuz it was a tap
uhhhhhhhhhhh

[NewForestMad]

SHE IS NOT IN PAIN but thanx 4 thinkin bout her

[PinkGlamourGurl]

Ok if you're sure its not the saddle then what about your position? Are you pulling her in the mouth? Not trying to be mean, just looking for possible causes.

[NewForestMad]

i was looking at that i dropped my reins but she was still bad
because her old owner grew out of her she hadn't been ridin for a while and is quite young its more of a habit really

[Herbie's mummy]

Have you tried loose schooling her over them?:) or lunging over jumps?

[SJ-Mad]

NewForestMad and SJMad should get together and compare notes, they could learn a lot from each other ;) ;) ;)
