Description
JumpCross is the brainchild of Mr. Robin Dunlop, Grange Farm Equestrian Centre, Peterborough. After many years of building and observing cross-country courses and the manner in which they were ridden, Mr. Dunlop felt there must be a better way for both horse and rider to achieve a rhythmic, balanced style whilst developing a clean, accurate jumping technique.
So often it was seen that a junior was 'taken' round the course by their ponies, not necessarily being required to ride, just (hopefully) to steer, stop and stay on! What happens then when said youngster grows out of this pony, a horse is the next step? This is often when we see the struggle start, unsure of the correct positioning or aids to give, confusion and disappointment grows in both the jockey and his steed as the horse refuses many requests to jump. And so, JumpCross was born......
The aim being, to provide all riders with a true cross-country sport with knock-down fences. Combining the excitement of cross-country with the accuracy of show jumping. Not as intimidating as solid fences for horse or rider, yet commanding balance, skill and respect in order to jump them cleanly. How often have you yourself heard the rapping of hooves over the obstacles of cross-country? Is this what we want to teach our horses? Surely if they know they can scramble over cross-country fences, will they not disrespect the Show jumps just as much, if not more?
