This video shows a talented horse free jumping over several fences while having a time of her life. The horse is well-balanced, moving naturally, and demonstrates beautiful form over the fences. Great joy girl!

Free jumping refers to setting a horse up to jump fences on his own. Usually, horse owners set up jumping chutes which run down one side of the arena to direct the horse toward the fence, keeping him from running out around the side of the fence.

Free jumping can be a useful tool for developing a horse's confidence and balance, since the horse must learn how to use himself over fences. However, it's very important that you properly set your horse up for free jumping. It may be tempting to <a href="https://rumble.com/v32xin-rider-tries-to-complete-course-but-her-headstrong-horse-has-a-different-ide.html" target="_blank">ask your horse to jump higher</a> and higher fences, but asking too much of your horse too soon can risk physical injury and may damage his confidence.

Remember that jumping is strenuous on a horse. Jumping sessions need to be kept short in order to give the horse plenty of time for recovery between sessions. Some breed registries require that a horse be free jumped to assess their talent. This free jumping assessment is used when horses are young and aren't yet broken to saddle, but free jumping also allows us to see the horse's natural talent without the influence of a rider.

There are many reasons to free jump a horse, but if you're going to give this practice a try, make sure you have an experienced equestrian to show you how to properly free jump your horse.
