Comments on: What About the Crest Release for Jumping? http://theridinginstructor.net/?p=390 The website for riding instructors, students of riding, and horse lovers Thu, 12 Aug 2010 20:07:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: admin http://theridinginstructor.net/?p=390&cpage=1#comment-179 admin Thu, 06 May 2010 07:12:39 +0000 http://theridinginstructor.net/?p=390#comment-179 Thanks for your really kind comments, Katherine. I think you're right. We have to do it one rider at a time. It's very hard in the face of what's popular, particularly if your students show in equitation. Kudos to you! I admire you for going against the flow. I have a second blog that I would appreciate your comments on. It's U.S. Horsemanship, http://ushorsemanship.com . It's concerned with the development of riding in America. So far it has concentrated on Jumping, hunting etc, so their are several posts on base of support and crest release. Please take a look when you have the time. Thanks again for your nice comments. And thanks for reading The Riding Instructor. Barbara Fox Thanks for your really kind comments, Katherine.

I was taught the balanced seat and automatic release. It is so hard to convince people to put in the time to develop their balance anymore. I teach a few students and they are finally beginning to understand what it is to be balanced but it is a hard won fight when others are doing quick fixes and crest releases at the upper levels. I guess it is as someone said? Pay it forward one person at a time and hope it grows....or something to that effect. Love the site, love the videos, love the blog! Look forward to more to come.
