Two-point

I was just thinking about this, but why are you supposed to go into two-point when the horse jumps? I go into 2 point, but I was just wondering why. Thanks

its so the hoirse can get enough power behind his legs and so ur off his back when he goes up.~~ i think

It's also for your own good... if you try to sit flat in the saddle when the horse jumps, your either going to get jerked, or left behind.

But, like Stars said, it takes pressure off of the horses back and allows them to use their hind-quarters better.

try jumping first NOT in the 2 point and then in it. I think you'll realize one reason for it.

And the first time, make sure you grab something-mane, the pommel of the saddle, either works, but make sure you have something to hold onto! And don't jerk on your reins!
