PART 2: Riders each tackle the course individually while Ian offers feedback. Two of the riders work on sitting down in the saddle through their combinations and riding with their legs and seat so the horse doesn't drop behind their leg. Ian uses the analogy of squeezing out a tube of toothpaste to encourage the riders to sit down and squeeze their horse so the only way to go is forwards. They repeat some jumps with much better results. Ian talks about the importance of adopting the correct position each jump as riders progress the levels, and explains the idea of having two thirds of the horse in front of the rider to maintain power. The riders test this theory at the water and drop elements.
