what jumping exercises do you think are useful for control?

well i think bounces are useful for getting a horse to sit on the hocks and package the stride, and then you can transfer the feel for jumping the bounces into work with courses and doubles etc to get a 'showjumping' canter which should be powerful yet bouncy and collected and not flat out

So which is better then? A standing or running martingale?

well it depends entirely on the horse really. standing obviously puts pressure on the nose to stop the horse from throwing it's head up, and the running puts pressure on the mouth to stop the horse throwing his head up. however the running is less restrictive and means the horse has more of a chance to move its head and neck to get out of tricky situations if they were to dodge up or trip when jumping, so i would feel safer with a running martingale on

Are all tendon boots open fronted? Why are they open fronted, sorry for all the questions, just wondering :)

no you can get closed front as well and they're more for xc as unless you're a bit retarded, you'd want the whole cannon bone and extensor tendon protected if your jumping solid fences. showjumpers tend to wear open fronted because apparently horses can judge their tuck better and how close they are to fence if they're open fronted, but i also think it's so if the horse knocks a pole they can feel it and know not to do it next time

What tendon boots do you have, are they good?

i have a pair of leather and sheepskin open fronted tendon boots for bonnie, i think the brand is gallop and they're pretty good, the only annoying thing is cleaning the sheepskin -.-

What's the difference between a standing and running martingale?

standing martingale connects to the noseband, running goes onto the reins
