How to "Improve your Eye" to see a stride with Kirstin Kelly.

This video will explain how to "improve your eye" so you can see a distance. I explain how it's listening to the beat of the canter and feeling as well as seeing the stride coming.
There is no such thing as a bad distance, just a distance you don't like. Your idea of a bad stride might be when your close but to a professional rider, they might think that is a great distance. Try to accept and re-act, then the strides become consistent and smooth.

Love how you talk about listening to the canter! It's something a lot of riders forget about but is so useful :)

Yes, trainers talk about seeing the distance but it's more of listening

So pleasantly surprised how much it’s helped my horse counting aloud the strides going into a jump, such a helpful tip

It immerses the brain in the rhythm of the canter, so simple but so effective.

Your videos are helping me so much as I get back into riding after 20 years off! There's so much to think of when approaching a jump but your advice is always so practical and easy to digest and put into action :)

Love this, accept it! I definitely do the ‘omg’ we are going in so close. 😅

Now when you see the close distance, lift your chin to engage your core and encourage the horse to rock back and propel upwards ✅

See the distance and accept it! Look at the ground rail and count your six strides to help keep your rhythm. Works every time :-)

I can see distances, but when I see a 'bad' distance, I don't know how to correct it. Let's say I see a really deep distance 5 strides away from the jump, do I collect the canter, or support with my legs for a bigger stride?

@nataliaorozco162 Жыл бұрын

Hi! So I am wondering what to do im short turns when it comes to counting six? Because a really short turn sometimes will give me 2-3 strides before the jump? So shpuld i count from the turn?

@KirstinKellyEquestrian Жыл бұрын

I look early and start counting before the short turn as counting six gives you long enough to listen to the beat too
