About this video

Horse Hero's Fiona Price is game for most things and a lesson on a Grade A show jumping horse was definitely on her list! However, Lulu proved a bit more of a challenge than she expected! With the help of show jumper, Shane Breen, the first aim was to overcome Lulu's spooky nature. Then, using canter poles, Shane works with Fiona to shorten and lengthen the stride. A clever grid succeeds in getting Lulu's exuberance under control and allowing Fiona to do some jumping! "A tight turn into a line of fences stops horses from racing and chasing", says Shane, who insists Fiona gets control the landing stride to make the distance.

velvet 27 Feb 2010 Well done Fiona - I learnt so much more from watching a video where things don't always go right! have a pretty similar mare, so it gave me lots of ideas to work with.
One lady 4 Feb 2010 Great to see it's not quite as easy as the pro's make it look. Shane's horse looks and acts exactly like my girl, but I've yet to find out how well she jumps as I haven't progressed past the bucking & bolting over the poles stage. This has really helped. Thanks!
Jac 3 Feb 2010 Fiona - wonderful to watch you manage a challenging ride. As an amateur rider, I found it in some ways easier to relate to, and learn from, than watching some of the professionals at work. We've all been in the situation of being told to "relax" when faced with a new and unknown ride!
