Part 1: Clayton introduces his lovely Holsteiner mare and explains why it's so important for the horse to be focused for skinny or accuracy fences. Often the horse gets too focused on the rider if they are not used to be independent on the approach, and doesn't get a chance to see the jump until they too close, and will subsequently run out or spook. Clayton addresses this by schooling with skinnies and teaching the horse to find the fence and take him into it. He warms up, paying close attention to his transitions first and foremost, then adds a small fence. Clayton sets the mare up and then gives her progressively more responsibility so she has to look for the jump.
