Are Mane & Crest Releases Beneficial During Jumping?
Jumping Bounces For Learning Releases
The most frequent reason that horses do not want to jump is the rider interferring with the mouth prior, during and after a fence.
Jumping Bounces gives the rider the opportunity to learn to leave the mouth/reins alone, and grab the mane for several release ranges to learn over fences.
This in turn, allows the horse to develop the safety * confidence that he will develop knowing that the rider will not interfere with his mouth during the jumping process.
