Stadium Jumping | David O'Connor & Sinead Halpin | PART 02

Part 2: David encourages the rider to put the horse together earlier on the approach to a jump. He suggests working hard five to eight strides away to get her prepared, then have a quieter ride in and allow her to make a nicer shape over the fence. They work on jumping on a circle, and encourage the mare to be quicker with her feet. David explains that to change the shape of the jump, you have to change the shape of the canter. They work on going down a small hill while collecting to teach the horse to hold her canter back
