This the time of year when we begin to get our field hunters into some show jumping and cross-country schooling. The Chronicle of the Horse just arrived in my mailbox and had this great story on “Don’t Jump Ahead of the Horse” and is about J. Michael Plumb. I have to say it is the type of form I am striving for in foxhunting and show jumping.
J. Michael Plumb was the first equestrian in the US Olympic Hall of Fame. This brief video is worth watching, and watch his leg position, which never slips the fraction of an inch.
