Later in the day, Liz goes back to the horse and rider pair that did dressage work to do a brief stadium jumping session. In this video, they warm up over a vertical and oxer. Liz stresses to have the canter organized before the jumps so that the horse can be relaxed and easily meet the fences. T...

After the warmup, Liz coaches the rider through stadium jumping courses. She advises that she think about what type of canter she needs going into the different lines. The rider also needs to squeeze with the hand and not hold the horse and release over the jump to give the horse more freedom ove...

After their warmup, Liz coaches two riders through stadium jumping courses. She advises that they think about what type of canter they need going into the different lines. The courses are combinations of forward distances as well as shorter distances where the horses need to collect.

In the second part of this lesson, Liz raises the jumps and changes the course to challenge the horses and riders more. She still advises that they think about what type of canter they need going into the different lines. It could be different after the fence heights go up. The courses include be...

Liz helps two riders execute a bounce correctly. She suggests making sure the lower leg is on to offer the horse support through the element. The riders need to stay tall and allow with the hand in order to stay with the horse over the jumps.

Join WEG Silver medalist Dorothy Crowell in this great lesson addressing the ins and outs of riding a hot Thoroughbred. Watch for the tips on body position, breathing, half halts, and down transitions with a horse that has an impressive desire to go forward.

Dorothy begins the lesson by articulating the specific rides needed for this hot horse. They school a single fence with an emphasis on slowing down and halting without pulling.

Buck Davidson schools two very different riders cross country giving us the opportunity to see how straightness and intention are always important. Watch this video for great tips on riding successful lines, both bending and straight.

They continue the lesson with a small course. Dorothy coaches the rider through keeping her horse slow and steady using a wide range of aids but not pulling.

Buck leads two riders through different exercises to improve accuracy and flow. The more experienced rider does an S-curve series of fences, while the other rider focuses on riding her line after the fence and planning the line.

The more seasoned rider now does a complete course, making sure the mare is in her hand to allow more options at the fence. The other rider schools the water being sure to ride with intention.

Adding in some small jumps on a circle gets the horse to think about things differently, move their feet differently and respond in a relaxed manner to new stimuli. The ride should flow smoothly even if things around the horse change. Chelsea focuses on keeping a steady rhythm and tempo. Later sh...

William finds trotting a crossrail beneficial for the horse's footwork to be jumping from a short distance with no speed. By approaching it in walk and then trotting just a few strides before the jump, the horse is forced to actually look at the jump and think about it.

They continue their jumping warm-up by cantering a vertical on a figure eight pattern of going left, jumping and then turning right. William wants the riders to keep it simple and focus on canter rhythm and straightness.

With the horses warmed up, William has them progress to riding a course. He wants them to focus on the horses being straight and forward but controlled. He also wants to make sure the riders sit up tall with their shoulders back and looking down the line.

They finish the first day jumping a full course. William reminds the riders not to help their horses too much and to allow them to make mistakes. Again, he wants them to focus on being straight as well as sitting in the saddle between fences to help balance their horses back but with enough leg t...

At the end, William asks the riders if there was something they wanted to go do again. They go through and ride a few lines again to reinforce what they learned that day.

William welcomes everyone and talks to each participant to get to know them and their horses. He also give valuable insight on his training philosophy.

As part of their warm-up, William has the riders start by trotting a single fence.

William has the riders canter, halt on the line, jump a vertical and then halt again. He wants the riders to make sure the horses are not increasing their pace. It is about making sure the horse is straight, listening and under control.

With the horses warmed up, William has them progress to riding a course. He wants them to focus on the horses being forward but controlled. He also wants to make sure the riders work the horses in between jumps so they are softer and using their bodies properly.

They finish the first day jumping a full course. William stresses that the riders need to have a Plan A, but they need to be able to adapt on course depending on how the horses jump. Then being able to figure out Plan B quickly is important in competition. However, in training, riders can take th...

William welcomes everyone and talks to each participant to get to know them and their horses.

William takes a few moments to watch everyone warm up on the flat. His intention is to get an idea of how the horses go to better understand what they should work on. Generally speaking, he wants the riders to take contact and have the horse in front of the leg.
