pants @ jumping...
Ohhh dear...I've been riding for around four and a bit years and am currently really enjoying my weekly riding lessons-anyway i'll cut to the chase... I've just noticed in the past few weeks when we've been doing some jumping (only about 2ft fences-maybe abit more) that when I go over the jump, as the horse is stretching its neck to land (well it feels like stretching) I tend to lean my hands on his neck to keep my balance. At first I thought it was maybe just the horse i wasn't used to or something- but its happened on afew different horses now and i have jumped most of them before. Ahhh- what can I do- or what am I doing wrong??? Help pleez!
For the record:
I am about 5.4ft, 9st, nearly 16 years old
The horses I've been riding are all around about or over 15hh -all sorts of breeds- cobxs, tbxs e.t.c .... all riding school horses.
