Riders in the Geoff Teall clinic continue in a slow hand-gallop and work toward establishing the canter needed to jump. The riders need to be in a half-seat with balance in the legs while the hands are steady and even. They fine-tune their positions on the flat so they are better prepared to start jumping.
