Where Should I Focus or Look When Jumping?
Jumping Eyes
When Jumping, more than at any other time, the rider MUST focus on looking upwards & onwards before, during and after every fence!
Top riders always focus on SOMETHING THAT IS AT LEAST 10' ABOVE the jump! Before, During, and then After, each fence.
As you are going over a fence, still focus upwards, yet in the direction of the next fence, to prepare your horse for the direction and as straight a line to the next fence as is possible!
