Getting into show jumping requires a passion and love for horses that translates into riding them well, being able to communicate with them and encouraging the animals to run a jumping course. Understand the world of show jumping with helpful tips from an experienced Grand Prix rider in this video on horse shows.
Well, how I got into show jumping. I think everybody that is in the horse business pretty much got into it the same way. You have this passion for this amazing animal, and you watch how powerful they are, but how kind they are. And it is just an amazing sport because you are dealing with a 1,500 pound animal and you are trying to basically negotiate with them to do what you want them to do and what they do is very unnatural. So the ones that can do it are really special and it is just an amazing sport. So once you do it once, if you love it it's in your blood.
