I’m looking to lease a horse and I want to get a breed that is good at jumping. But I don’t want the horse to be like 17 hh or a pony
Warmbloods are ideal for hunter/jumpers.
Jumpers need to be brave. They need to be able to approach any type of fences from the mundane to the truly weird and jump it without hesitating or knocking down any rails. The ideal jumper is built uphill, with its primary power in the hindquarters so that it can push itself over the larger jumps. Good conformation in the front end is also important as there is a ton of downward force as the horse lands after a big jump.
In the lower levels many riders just race around the courses trusting their horses to get them out of any jams they might find themselves in. This is ok over small fences, but as the heights go up a lot more thought and riding skill must go into a course. Wide jumps require a longer stride while high jumps require the horse to set back in order to make the height. When these kinds of jumps are combined together they can make for a very challenging ride.

I have always used neatsfoot oil in the past, but at this past horse show a lady told me that neatsfoot oil can damage the stiching on your bridle. Is this true or not true? I bought leather therapy brand conditioner. She told me it would darken my bridle. I have an edgewood. It did darken the bridle, but not as much as I would like. Even with multiple appications I just can’t get it to the way it looks when I use neatsfoot oil. The coloring also looks uneven. I have never had a bridle fall apart from using neatsfoot oil but maybe they mean long term? Have you tried any products like neatsfoot oil that make the leather soft, won’t damage stitching and also darkens?
When it is used in large amounts for long periods of time, yes, neatsfoot oil DOES rot stitching on a bridle- or on any other leather product, in fact. I normally only use neatsfoot very sparingly on my tack, and I make sure to wipe any excess off after I’m done. Neatsfoot oil is a conditioning agent for leather, but it is NOT a cleaner. To both clean and darken leather, you will need to use consistent applications of something like Lexol leather cleaner, followed by the conditioner made by the same company. Lexol DOES darken leather- that is how I get my new bridles and saddles darkened and broken in for use. You can also use Hydrophane, and follow that with Lexol if you want- that method will also work. Hope this helps.
i was just wondering if you need to braid your horse for show jumping? not hunters but jumpers.
You dont have to, but most people do… I only braid the top part of the tail, and let the rest flow natural and I pull the mane so it is neater in appearance… but thats just my preference. You can braid all or nothing… which ever you prefer…. there’s not a braid rule.
I will be showing for my first time next year at the county fair (I live in Minnesota and I am 15) and I am wanting to know if I can show my horse if she is unregistered? Thanks!
if ur county is like ours then yes. They HAVE classes for registered horses but they have open classes, unregistered pure classes as well. And if you do barrel racing etc at the show then it doesn’t matter on breed just your age. But you need health papers, coggins etc turned in advanced. When it gets closer to the show see if your extention office has a fair book or some sort with everything you need to know! Good Luck
Next weekend I’m going to my first show with my new horse. And i don’t know what bring! Is there any easy ways to remember the course? Help please.And no silly answers please Thanks!
Take all the stuff you need for your horse. Saddle, bridle, girth, brushes, your helmet, hoof pick, fly spray, tail brush, conditioner to spray in tail. If you’re leaving your horse in the stall, you should take your own pitchfork to clean the stall. Your own buckets and stuff. Feed. Your show clothes, a cloth to wipe off your boots. Anything that you use for your horse needs to go with you.
Remembering the course isn’t that hard actually. When you’re out there riding, you sort of instinctually know where to go because of the way the jumps are arranged… the way they’re facing. Just look at the chart when they post it, then stand at the ring until you’ve memorized where to go. Then you can watch other people riding the course to get an idea of what you want to do when you ride… think about if you would have turned there or gone straight longer and whether you’ll try to get the line in 5 or keep it a 6. Sometimes you can ride in the arena in the morning before the show starts. You probably won’t know the course yet, but if you ride there, think about the possible combinations that they could make for the course.
If you want your horse looking his best, then theres no better place to turn for advice than the showing world. Plaiting your horse for the show ring. For more videos, go to www.yourhorse.co.uk
