Olympic Silver Medalist Greg Best teaches a lesson in the stadium to help riders produce the right kind of jump for verticals. Addressing everything from position to tack, Greg thoroughly explains his approach and sets each individual rider and their horse up for success.

Part 1: Greg discusses how he uses landing strips, such as small crushable PVC pipe, in his own program to help create respect for verticals and give his horses the tools to clear them. He also explains how there are some types of jumps like Liverpool and water element combinations that he does n...

Part 2: Greg works with a rider whose horse has the habit of raising his head and falling behind the leg on the flat, with the intention of the improvement carrying over to the jumps. He discusses the importance of keeping the leg on and keeping the hind end moving into a proportional amount of p...

Part 3: Greg discusses with the riders the best position for shortening the horse's stride between fences in the upcoming exercise, as well as lengthening. He gives a comprehensive overview of position, from hip angle to center of gravity, with thorough explanations of why he suggests each for an...

Part 4: Greg talks to the riders about distances, and how even with the same quality of motion on the same line, they are still liable to change much like the roll of a single dice. He encourages the riders to focus less on seeing or creating a distance, and more on creating the same correct cant...

Part 5: The riders tackle a course with lead changes, bending and some challenging lines. The horse Greg moved to a softer bit performs much better and is nicer in the riders hands without being disrespectful. Greg discusses body control with all of the riders, and working on maintaining particul...

Part 6: Greg works with a rider whose horse is a little reactive and tends to get away from her around the course. He uses a simple lead change exercise and the canter flatwork from earlier in the lesson to help her keep the horse soft and controlled, and reminds the rider not to over adjust and ...

Part 7: Greg gets feedback from one rider on her new bit and is pleased that she feels more confident in the softer bit and that her horse is coming into her hand better. He has another two of the rider switch bridles and discusses his philosophy on changing bits for better results. He works with...

Part 8: Greg points out how much one horse who has an issue with being careful has improved with a softer bit now that his focus is off the bit and on the jump. A more nervous horse provides a great opportunity to demonstrate the power of the voice aid in helping a horse settle, know what to expe...

Part 5: Jimmy explains how being in harmony with the horse is key. Even if mistakes are being made, as long as the horse and rider are on the same page and making the same mistakes together, he believes that's okay. Rather than focusing on being long or short into a fence, Jimmy focuses on the ho...

Part 6: Jimmy discusses the importance of learning skills appropriate for each level and building those up as the education of the horses and riders progress. He creates an exercise with a tight turn after a fence where riders must land their horses on the correct lead to be able to face him and ...

Part 7: The riders work around a course. Jimmy offers advice as many of the young horses spook at a shadow on the gate. Working in circles and uphill terrain, riders school their horses over the fences. Jimmy works with them to refine their position and aids to facilitate the best jump.

Part 8: Jimmy continues to coach each rider as they attempt the course. He explains the power of the riders line of sight, and also the importance of letting the horse have his nose so he is able to see the jump. He works on establishing a better landing for a smoother journey to the next element.

Part 9: Jimmy continues to work with riders on the course. He discusses the importance of having soft hands over a jump and allowing the horse their head. Lead changes seem to be a sticking point for many of the riders. Jimmy uses two of the horses as examples to show that by changing where the r...

Part 1: Allison revisits the importance of flatwork for jumping and reminds the riders that they should be selecting the trot or canter they approach a fence in, and their horses should be responsible for maintaining it. Each rider talks about their goals for the session for themselves and their ...

Part 2: Allison addresses the importance of maintaining the ingredients of the canter, even if the riders come into a bad distance. She explains how this allows the horse to pat the ground, jump and still land in the same canter, rather than chipping in if they try to adjust the last stride. Each...

Part 3: Allison works with a greener OTTB on developing the contact and creating a consistent canter. She uses a pole to create focus and allow the horse the make mistake as he learns to manage his approach. Slowly, she increases the pole to a cross rail. Allison challenges the riders to maintain...

Part 4: Allison creates a grid, including a bounce. She challenges the riders to stay consistent in the position they just practiced and ride their flatwork all the way into the first fence and through the grid. Allison emphasizes the importance of picking a speed for each fence at which the ride...

Part 5: Allison focuses on being prepared for coming into a fence at a tight distance and having the confidence to ride through. She explains the importance of keeping the horses hind feet moving towards the fence and giving them the confidence to jump anyway, even if they chip. Riders ride down ...

Part 6: Allison reiterates the role of the rider in creating the correct canter for each fence. She revisits the concept of the outside rein as a grounding and slowing rein, and works with the riders to mobilize their elbows and maintain a low and relaxed hand. Using the diagonal pairs of aids, A...
