Increase your horse’s control, energy levels and flexibility. Engage your horse in gymnastics routines that will also improve your riding skills and help you focus on your horse’s position during your rides. Practice your horse in jumping and landing to increase his balance as well as his carriage. This will also prevent the possibility of injuries and stress.

Learn techniques from a horse jumping video. All horse gymnastic programs start with basic, simple jumps and trots in between jumps. You can use poles initially in place of jumps to allow you and your horse to trot through and focus on developing control and flexibility in approaching the poles before progressing to the jumps.
