Arena Exercise To Improve Technique | Boyd Martin | PART 03

Part 3: Boyd has the rider execute a series of turns working through the grid in order to help them stop twisting through their body. He reminds them of the weight of their head and how sensitive a horse is to a even to a fly to illustrate how much a crooked position can affect their jump. Boyd assists one rider whose horse has a sensitive mouth and tends to nod on landing by encouraging her to have a longer rein on landing, then pick up the contact two strides after the jump. He explains how every professional is different and how becoming a good rider is taking things that help from each coach and leaving things that are less effective.
