An Overview of Horse Jumps and Colt Training

Article Category: Sports

Author Name: Nick Morgan

Teaching the horse tricks and hopping on horse jumps should be started when all his bones are developed to guarantee that the animal does not meet an accident while training. Four-year old is the ideal age for the horse to start training on jumps.

For the first lessons, jumps in the lane should be lowered to one foot. The horse should be bridled and saddled. Put the reins behind them the horse but it must not restrict the freedom of the horse to extend his neck, instead use it to steady the horse. If possible, let a trained horse go first in the track before the colt goes. The presence of an older and calmer horse can greatly affect the result of the training. The colt should see that other horses are being handled in the right way and no signs of excitement between the two horses should occur.

The trainer must follow behind the colt and usher the colt to go through the obstacles. The colt will most likely stop before the obstacles and must be urged but in time, he will be ready to walk over the obstacles. When he shows improvements and the trainer that the colt has confidence, the horse jumps can be raised and a larger one can be put it.

Schooling or putting the horse over the jumps can be done three of four times at a time. The jumping lessons should always come after the horse is thoroughly warmed up but not when he is tired from a long ride. The trainer can always accelerate the training but the horse will never make the jumper that the carefully schooled animals will become. Patience and constancy are the basis of training the colt become a skilled jumper.

When the colt is going steady over three foot obstacles in the jumping lane without a rider, horse jumps should be brought down again to one foot. The trainer then mounts the horse and wait until the animal get accustomed to his weight and is balanced. The trainer should use the aids very light at first, being extra careful to allow the horse plenty of freedom and movement. As soon as the horse becomes balance, the trainer then increase leg pressure before each jump and the steadying of the reins. A good practice is to use the army method of holding the reins. Colts, at first, will jump awkwardly and the experienced trainer is still bound from falling or losing his balance. Holding the reins lower than the natural position there is much less likelihood of the animal receiving an unexpected jab in the mouth.

Again, horse jumps should be raised only when the colt is progressively jumping over the obstacles with the trainer still guiding him on it. Add a few inches at a time but lower the jumps again at the first sight of excitement. Two or three months is not too long to spend in the jumping lane

When the horse is well balanced and calm in the lane he can start advanced training to enable the horse to join in classes and competitions.
