Jumping Equitation - Promoting Quality Jumping

We all love the sport of Jumping, however there are is another discipline that compliments nicely – Jumping Equitation (JE). While Jumping competitions are decided by incurring the least number of penalties and/or the fastest time, JE adds an element of style to the competition. While rails down and time taken do count, the majority of the success in a JE competition comes down to a range of elements of horsemanship and the ability to perform specified tasks over the course of the round, as well as presentation of the horse and rider.

Australian Jumping recently attended a lovely JE event at Oaks Sport Horses near Camden, NSW to speak with Jane Frankum from Jumping NSW (JNSW) to find out more about this jumping discipline.
