Pace & Balance | Kim Severson | PART 02

Part 2: Kim notes one of the riders landing on her hands after the fences. She encourages them to instead focus on landing in the heel, and explains that this is so important as it avoids them losing a stride after the fence while they get their balance back. When the rider still struggles, Kim advises them to think of staying in the middle of the saddle and not moving their head, in order to create a breakthrough. She sets the group a challenging course of bending and straight lines, requiring them to lengthen and collect the canter multiple times as they jump around.
