- I get a lot of questions about how to improve your equitation when working with your horse, so I made this video with some of the equestrian tips and tricks that I use during my routine to improve my eq, as well as teaching my students. I hope you find these to be useful and you can put them to good work when schooling your horse and training to be a better equestrian. Thanks so much for watching!

This is so helpful! Although I have jumping experience, I’ve never had a trainer work on MY position. My “position” over jumps was push hands forward and pray
So glad to hear, thanks!
One day could you please do a video about the different classes in the USA? Also the differences in the horses used for the different classes? Like what is the difference between a hunter, an equitation horse and an open jumper? As an Australian, the whole hunter and equitation over fences is a mystery.
Zoey, PLEASE do more vids like this!!!!
Sure thing!
I loved this! Could you please make little eq tutorials more into depth on individual techniques and what helped you develop strength doing those things? Like half seating the canter, sitting the canter, posting/sitting trot, ways of riding the canter and when to use them, and doing different exercises without stirrups? I’m so lost about what to even do with my body when I’m half seating and I can’t move fluidly and I just wind up flailing and I would really appreciate some guidance about the basics of how I move in half seat canter:)
Could not click fast enough lol. Your equitation is goals!!!
Aw thanks! Hope you enjoy.
@@ZLEquestrian I absolutely did! Thank you!
I have to be honest, everything you do with your horses brings back so many great memories of when I had horses... Just keep being you and sharing :-)
Bounces are THE BEST for your position. I also had trainers make me drop my reins into the bounces and put my hands out in order to develop body independence from my hands. This will also teach you to keep your abs engaged in case something happens (refusal, chip, etc.).
love the video! even though jumping isn't my main focus in riding i still enjoy your videos!
Up-up-downs at the trot are also good for making sure you are balanced.
What sort of phrases do you use (on yourself and students)? I love hearing these because everyone says things differently and visualization (or little pep talks) helps me a ton. (“If you can stop you can slow down.”)
Also that hose nozzle
Love this video. I’m just starting on couple jumps recently. I think watching videos like this and doing these on my own would help me.
Such a pleasure to watch you ride!
Thanks so much for watching!
Any tips for not pinching with your knee when you drop your stirrups ?
Hi! I love your channel! Thank you for the tips btw!
Hi Callie! Thanks so much 💕
@@ZLEquestrian No Problem! You've taught me more about horses so you deserve the respect! 😁💗
Thanks for the Amazing Tips!!!
This was so helpful! Great tips and exercises. BTW, love your breeches Zoe - where are they from?? Thanks so much for all your useful vlogs🥰
Could you do a video on how to post the trot without stirrups? I've been riding for 14 years and I still can't figure out how to without gripping with the knees...
Love this Zoey! 🥰
Thanks Maya!
The video is amazing!!
I wanted to ask you a question? When I approach the jump it's fine when I takeoff it's fine but when I land my bum goes almost behind the saddle even when my lower leg is in the correct place, why does that happen? Aren't I engaging my core enough, I'm totally clueless??
nice
How tall is Checkers? Beautiful lead changes btw!
15.3. Thanks for watching!
@@ZLEquestrian omg he was flying over those jumps like a taller horse. He's beautiful. I love your videos!
Totally unrelated to the subject of the video, what brand of breeches are those?
I always struggle with not folding enough and straightening up too soon over the jump. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to work on this? (Also worth noting, I only jump for fun, I'm a dressage rider so I haven't gotten jumping lessons, I've jumped up to 1m but it was a single fence)
I’m no professional, but the tips given to me were to press the neck until you feel the horse lane on the other side for straightening up too soon.
@@shannonrevell2741 I'll try this next time, tank you! :)
What helmet is that? I really like how far down it goes in the back, seems very secure.
All of my helmets are Kask!
@@ZLEquestrian Thanks Zoe!
what is the 1 percent rule??
Thanks for this! How many feet between jumps per stride? (Thoroughbred)
Also, when posting/two point/ half seat without stirrups, do you grip with your knee?
@@Mustangsinfinity don't grip with your knee! your knee pressure will tell your horse to slow down or stop. grip with your calf/lower leg.
@@equestrathena Thanks! I knew you aren’t supposed to with your knee, but wasn’t sure what to grip with. So thank you!
@@Mustangsinfinity ofc! if you have anymore questions im here to help
No equitation related but what sunglasses are u wearing I have such a hard time with sunglasses
They're just some random cheap ones, no idea. Sorry!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like the bounce exercise. He’s very handsome. Riding style looks stiff backed, so I am thinking this is California?? Position; shoulders, hips, heels good, but where is your release? Your elbows are out and you hands never come off neck or withers. it looks like there is a lot air between elbow and body. Why the stiff straight arms, and hands down….Curious?
I couldn’t agree more but everyone is taught a little differently
The only reason I clicked on this video is bc that hack sits so low on the nose
It should be 2-3 fingers down from the cheekbone. Right now it sits on the fragile bone
