Jonathan now has the riders move on to a full stadium course after a thorough warmup (as seen in the collectoin Gymnastics for Jumping). They break down the course and start with a bending line from a wall to a vertical - oxer in and out.

The first, most advanced pair, go with an emphasis on staying straight and off the left leg especially when turning left. The second pair is more green and show great growth for a five-year-old thoroughbred by remaining rideable in a combination even after getting in long. The last pair, the spee...

Doug Payne brings his expertise to the show jumping rounds with challenging exercises for horses early in their show season. Watch for tips on the correct canter for the exercise, riding the line and how these exercises can benefit the ride.

Doug Payne continues this early spring clinic with changes in the course to make it more challenging for the wide variety of horses involved in this session. Watch for the great opportunity to see Doug school a horse himself and observe the astonishing changes he is able to bring to the ride.

After introductions from each rider with an explanation of their experience, Doug has them do a simple trot gymnastics to see how fresh each horse is. Then they do a course with small fences, lots of turns and changes of pace within the exercises.

Doug next has them do an exercise of a line of seven bounces on a figure 8. The variety of horses bring up different issues, including keeping the power through the turn, how to deal with a hot horse and riding the line.

The bounce course continues with one more horse and rider combination working to find the correct canter for the exercise.

This clinic continues with Doug Payne. He now alters the course by changing the set of bounces to every other one being high or low to give the more advanced horses a new challenge in their footwork. We have the great opportunity to watch Doug ride a hot gelding and see how he brings about a bett...

The clinic ends with them reversing the course which brings new challenges. The hot horse just gets better and better with the changes in the ride that Doug suggested. All the horses improve in their footwork.

Doug explains how to set his bounce exercise and how it helps the horses and riders improve their jumping balance and footwork.

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.
