ICP Clinic - Cross Country - Part 8

Part 8: David explains the importance of jumping the out first when training combinations. He explains that course designers like to put a narrow fence that the horse has to hunt for at the end of combinations as the levels advance. By practicing these difficult fences in training, in a competition the horse will complete the line and draw the rider to the last jump rather than having to scramble for it. The riders work down a line including a ditch and brush fence. David works with one rider and her talented horse to make sure she is accelerating after the jumps and maintaining forward motion while looking for her next fence early.
