About this video

Olympic eventer Vittoria Panizzon has one of the most distinctive and stylish jumping positions. Vittoria says it is vital to work on your seat in order to minimise the chance of a fall when things go wrong. This also allows the horse the freedom to jump clear and safely. Vittoria shows us the ideal balanced position. She says "a good seat comes from practising without the usual supports such as reins and stirrups". Vittoria puts three willing students through their paces and comes up with a party piece for the finale! There's only one mishap which is followed by a quick and brave recovery. (Note: Only try this accompanied by an experienced trainer!)

N.Lowndes 29 Dec 2011 Thanks Vittoria! See you in the future!
Vittoria Panizzon 28 Dec 2011 Thank you! Years of jumping exercises without hands, stirrups etc ensure one is in the best balance. I also always make sure my hands give full freedom stretching towards the horse's mouth and try to make sure my legs are jammed well into a safe place, I hate to feel them slip back! Best of luck, you are welcome to come for a lesson!
