Rideability Exercises Over Fences | Boyd Martin | PART 02

Part 2: Boyd raises the jumps and the riders continue to improve their skills. He works with two of the riders to use the power of their eyes and make sure they are looking for their next fence to give the horse subtle cues on direction. One rider continues to work on the rideability of her horse on landing, to keep him steady and listening. After a refusal, Boyd works with a rider who loses her nerve and starts to come too quickly to the jumps. He explains that although going faster after a stop is human nature, it's counter intuitive as it reduces the accuracy of the approach and is more likely to cause another refusal.
