Just Jump It Horseback Arts

It’s not just teaching girls how to ride horses, it’s mentoring them to be strong, confident, capable, and willing to try hard things.

Sometimes that looks like standing on the back of a horse. ❤️🐴

A little hula hooping on horseback made for a fun end to vaulting practice. They keep building their balance and body control along the way.

Working on two-point and poles today! 🐴

These exercises help riders build balance, leg strength, and a more secure position while learning to move with their horse.

Little skills like these build confident, capable riders! 💙

We are excited to introduce Laurel our newest member of the herd. She is a Haflinger mare from Oklahoma. We are excited to make her feel at home with us!

It’s so much fun watching our students learn while having fun!

Leading a horse may look simple, but students are practicing important horsemanship skills, communicating clearly, paying attention to their horse’s body language, maintaining a safe position, and confidently guiding their horse around the arena.

They love getting the chance to take the lead, and the horses make some pretty wonderful teachers! 💙

We are ready to slide out of this heat! Please bring on some cooler temps!

All we were trying to do was some steering practice. How do you think it went? 🤔😂🐎

Some days it is just too hot to ride. This was one of them. So we decided to take the horses for a mostly shady walk down the road to sightsee. They got some grass along the way which they loved.

This week the students got to practice naming the parts of the English and Western saddles and then as teams, one-handed cinching and putting the girth on!
