About this video

4* event rider Harry Meade, uses a jumping grid to help intermediate eventer Wild Lone, adjust his stride within a combination of fences. First of all though, Harry works on creating the right canter in his warm up. "Wild Lone is a loose and athletic horse, sometimes too loose", says Harry! This exercise consists of a bounce to a spread, to a second bounce, designed to improve a horse's technique for show jumping and cross country. Harry says "he starts in a collected canter, then has to move on the the parallel and come back to a collected canter for the second bounce, so it's also a mental test to be quick and nimble on his feet in order to sort out a puzzle!"

gristel 21 Aug 2009 Super, such a good video. Horse and rider were great.
HSkosich 30 Jun 2009 Harry's horse drifts left over the fences and he does a good job opening his right rein just enough to correct him without throwing his horse's balance off. Great video!
HorseMad123 29 Jun 2009 The horse is better on right rein than left rein jumping wise which is way it doesn't always get the lead right. It's a lovely horse and Harry did a great job. It looks a great exercise. Thanks Horse Hero!
PoloChick 29 Jun 2009 Nice vid' but his horse sometimes lands on the wrong leg?!
