Top hunter rider Geoffrey Hesslink demonstrates how to ride seamless hunter lines that are both smooth and flowing with minimal rider aids to achieve the highest score possible. He also explains how to measure, get down and find the end of hunter lines by using all the space in your arena and not allowing the second fence to break your momentum.
