Wow that picture and explanation are really good. - deadscreen989, Sep 12, 2010

Horse looks very nice; rider a bit too far forward, so knee is pinched and heels swung too far back. - Echoline, Sep 12, 2010

Answer 2

Thank you so much, the illustration and text are very helpful.

What is the translation for this?
"I am jumping my horse."

Yo estoy saltando al caballo, Yo estoy saltando el caballo. ???

"I am jumping my horse next Saturday." Yo estare' saltando el caballo en Sabado.

Fingers crossed - my Spanish is not very good, but I would like to learn.

good luck at your show! - Echoline, Sep 12, 2010

Answer 3

Yes and yes! Thank you so much for this information, and the reference forum.

I believe I've already figured out that there is no word in Spanish for 'riding' just the way we use that word in English. The Spanish-speakers I know have confirmed this - but they do not ride. In any case, I will need a lot of help by Spanish-speaking riders.

You've been a great help!

Answer 4

An after thought ...

If you will be sticking with Spanish and sticking with Horses, there is a another forum that may be of interest to you. I totally understand that you may not be as fluent as you like, but if you are going to practice on anything, practicing on things of interest can be beneficial...

Answer 5

Nice animal! I think it's said : practicar/hacer salto de caballo, or saltar a caballo Proffesionals often use to say only "saltar"

But is the horse who jumps, not the horseman, then: never, saltar al caballo , this implies you jump over your horse!

Estuve practicando el salto de caballo. Estuve saltando a caballo. Este fin de semana me apetece ir a saltar.
