Sharon White continues this cross country school with ditches, Trakehners and water. Watch for how these exercises build confidence in both the riders and horses.

Sharon White leads a wonderful first cross country school with two amateur riders. In the first two segments of five, watch them gain confidence through the water and systematically approach banks so the horses stay relaxed.

Sharon has the riders complete a short course of fences, including a Trakehner, with gallops in between the jumps. She doesn't want the riders to overthink what they are doing. She wants them to look up, steer and ride to the fence in a steady rhythm.

Join Sharon White in this cross country school beginning with setting the goals for the first schooling in Florida with a show coming up that weekend. The riders start by walking through the water and show exemplary relaxation.

Ditches are next, and the more experienced horse walks and trots over the small ditch before going to the medium ditch while working on straightness after the ditch. The second horse starts out with a lead over the little ditch, but quickly catches on to the exercise. Sharon also explains why the...

They school banks next and begin by walking up a double set of banks. To learn their footwork for the exercise, they repeat it and ask for a walk the whole way through. When going down the banks, they start with just one, again asking for a walk so the horses are able to sort out their footwork.
