Jumping Fundamentals Bootcamp
March Break Camp is leveling up this year! We'll be offering a Specialized Bootcamp for our more experienced riders who are ready for a challenge.
All great riding masters understand that the hardest part of jumping isn’t the time in the air, it’s making sure the horse gets to the fence correctly. Learning how to set your horse up for success will be the focus of this week’s camp!
The ability to maintain balance and rhythm, and identify and ride the correct track to a fence are the skills that matter most. They also take years to develop. This bootcamp is designed to give riders the opportunity to build and strengthen those skills until they become second nature.
Even if you’re not jumping yet, this intensive camp will provide the framework you need when you start to ride over fences.
Open to anyone who can ride without assistance from a helper!
What you'll learn:
- Working in all three seat positions (with and without stirrups!)
- Riding balanced turns and corners
- Developing balanced and efficient simple changes
- Counting strides and measuring distances
- Understanding different types of fences
- Protective gear for horses over fences
- Braiding practice and other expected elements of rider and horse turnout
- What the judge will be looking for over fences and in flat classes
…and putting it all together over a series of fences or obstacles!
Pricing: $480 for all 4 days or $135 per day
