Part 2: With the basics laid in the arena, Clayton moves to the cross country course and continues the exercise with a basic chevron fence. He demonstrates using the rein back as a tool for softness, and talks about how he always riders on a longer contact for cross country schooling as the horse needs the use of their head and neck to balance and gain confidence. He works over the chevron first at a trot, then a canter, allowing the horse to take responsibility for bringing him into the fence. With the mare going well, Clayton adds in a drop and a brush fence.
