Better Jumping - Carol Mailer

However competent or experienced you are, you will always want to improve - to jump better. From being a complete beginner to competing at the highest level, there is always more to be done, and gridwork is the key, the building blocks of a winning partnership. Jumping trainer Carol Mailer, believes that these and many more problems can be overcome with the help of the grid: My horse is nappy and bad tempered; is there any chance of him ever competing? How can I help my horse jump straight? My new horse was perfect when I bought him. Now he's stopping, running out or charging off with me. Why is he doing it? I'm an inexperienced rider with a new horse. How can I form a good partnership when we start jumping? And why does my horse keep putting extra strides in? Is there a way to calm my horse down and make him listen to me? I'm having a job stopping my horse cutting corners. Any ideas?Packed with exercises for finessing your technique and insightful solutions to classic jumping difficulties, "Better Jumping" is a wonderfully practical and inspiring book that will set you on the path to success, whatever your level.

About the author:
Carol Mailer began riding at 8-years-old and always wanted to jump. She was fortunate to be trained by the late Margaret Clarke who introduced her to grid work. Margaret Millward continued the progress, and with such a sound basic understanding from both experts, Carol devised and developed her own methods which she shares with you in Better Jumping. She is a regular contributor on jumping and grid work to Your Horse magazine, and is one of the experts in the Q & A features. She has successfully trained riders and horses of all standards for the last 30 years, from complete beginners to Advanced Eventers and HOYS winners. She still occasionally competes, and wins, on her beloved Jolson.

Claire Lilley Training Programme with Poles Vol. 1

Poles are not just for jumping.

With a bit of imagination, schooling and ground poles can be used to improve every aspect of training for you and your horse. Pole work helps develop your horse's strength, suppleness and obedience and your own concentration and accuracy as a rider. Training sessions can be made more interesting for you and your horse whether you enjoy jumping, dressage or riding in the countryside.

This DVD shows you how to establish basic schooling techniques at home and is extremely helpful if you do not have regular lessons. The format of this DVD gives you the option of selecting which lesson you wish to watch at any time, follow the straight forward on-screen menus to help you navigate through them.

On screen, follow each stage of the work from obedience training in hand, correcting your position in the saddle, through to exercises to improve your horse's way of going, pole work will improve your skill of a dressage rider, helping you to understand which muscles both you and your horse should be using. Establishing a correct and safe jumping technique using poles is vital to later tackling show jumps and cross-country fences. Remedial training for young and older horses is explained, and trailer training to help you load your horse safely.

Claire Lilley has been training horses and teaching riders both overseas and in the UK for over twenty years. She believes that successful schooling involves sensitivity and understanding, always being aware that every horse and rider are different. Training must be enjoyable in order for horses and riders to achieve their goals. Nevertheless the same basic principles, of a good seat and correct aids must be maintained across the disciplines.
