I need some tips for riding english.?

Question

i have rode western all my life. i only know how to ride western. i need some help/tips on riding english. my friend who does AMAZING in english shows is gonna get me started i jumping but i need some tips on riding english. ANYONE?!

Answer 1

i agree with the first answer. you need to learn to post (if you dont know how) and practice two pointing (the jumping position)

you do ride with a shorter stirrup when u ride english, so u do need to get used to those.

Answer 2

read some english books or watch some english riding on tv or you tube  

Answer 3

do you know how to post? if you don't, try in a western saddle.

start riding western with a shorter stirrup.

Try standing up in your stirrups, to learn to half seat, or two point, or jumping position.
