4* eventer Louisa Lockwood creates an exercise to help the Intermediate horse Penultimate Vision build his confidence with arrowheads and skinnies, as he's had a few run-outs cross country. He's a big horse and still a little weak and unbalanced, so he finds it hard to fully engage his hind quarters. He's also sensitive, so keeping him relaxed is vital. Starting with an angled cross pole, Louisa works on the quality of the canter and ensures the rhythm remains the same to the fence. She moves on to two skinnies, which are then angled on a related distance. Finally, Louisa jumps a double on a curving line to a skinny and explains how she adjusts the line and the stride.
