Deep Distances | Phillip Dutton | PART 03

14m 29s

Phillip explains the importance of creating a horse that is thinking on the way into the jump. Working around a challenging course of gymnastics, riders are required to create a canter that can be adjusted to be more forward, or shortened up. By increasing the adjustability of the canter stride, rider are better able to get their horses to the correct deep distance over a series of gymnastics.
