There's something I've been curious about for a while. I've
beenfocusing on jumper for the past year (I never really got
intohunter--my mare is a Morgan with lots of knee action and they're
notexactly your typical hunter-type. Plus, I just like
theexcitement of jumper). But, I was originally taught by
enoughhunter coaches that my new jumper coach had to change my seat
entirelywhen I started with her; I had to lose the hunter "forward
angle" whileposting and the half seat canter was immediately tossed out
thewindow. I appreciate the change in my position now; I've
foundthat sitting back and getting my horse's butt under her is
essentialwhen making tight turns or jumping tricky lines. But
here is ismy question: I know that a lot of hunters will often switch
back andforth between hunter and jumper--for those of you who do, do
you changeyour riding style? Do you work on both when schooling,
or do youride "hunter-like" for both disciplines?
