JUMP with Joy!

Sailing over fences is one of the most thrilling things you will ever do on horseback and Lesley Ward wants to help you accomplish that goal—safely and correctly. Her complete jumping program, combined with some serious enthusiasm and discipline on your part, will have you trotting over poles in no time, improving your skills, and working every day toward bigger, more challenging obstacles.

Photographs, diagrams, charts, and Ward's friendly, encouraging voice teach you the fundamentals of safe jumping—from properly positioning your body in the saddle to jumping combination fences.

Lesley Ward is the editor of Young Rider magazine and has written several books on horses, including Let’s Go to a Show and Your Happy and Healthy Horse. Lesley enjoys eventing and trail riding her three horses, Gracie, Murphy and Jasper, and loves spending time with all of her animals on her farm in Lexington, Kentucky.
