Question # 142: I was asked to ride a log oxer that had a 2.5 ft drop down to a very slight down hill terrain change.
I was instructed to ride it in balance (staying in the center of the horse), flowing, shoulders up and to stay with the horses motion and that it was not necessary to slide the reins and push your heels forward on drops of this size. I have had instructors who have told me to slide the reins at this jump. At what height, types of drops and when do you need to slide the reins? (Kristi)
