Trotting & Walking Fences, Two Star Horses & Riders | William Fox-Pitt | PART 03

Part 3: William discusses the merits of riding into a fence with connection, versus on a looped rein. He explains that he feels horses should be able to jump with either initially, but as the questions get harder with tight turns and narrow fences, they will need to be able to move forward with more contact. He urges riders to practice getting this contact in warm up, so they don't get into trouble on a course, go to pick it up, and have the horse be reactive. The riders begin to work over the fences in walk.
