About this video

Four star eventer Alex Peternell works with the 6 year old Lando, a large and talented youngster who's prone to spookiness. Lando tends to lock his jaw and run on through the rein after each jump, so Alex works on a variety of exercises to encourage him to listen, wait, and maintain rhythm and softness after landing. During the warm-up, Alex provides a useful insight into how he deals with spooking and also how his warm-up for jumping differs to dressage. Starting with a single fence, Alex jumps, lands and stops. He builds up to a short course to put Lando to the test. Alex stresses the important of having a game plan but also remaining flexible!

One lady 4 Jan 2012 Great lesson and incredibly useful. I've been riding my mare backwards and forwards over a single jump for years. She super calm over one but turns into a loon the minute I add in or look at a second. Can't wait to get back in the school and try out some of what I've learned.
phbonita 15 Oct 2011 Excellent lesson - well presented and very informative - one of the best I have seen on Horse Hero and certainly the most interesting! Such a kind considerate and understanding rider with great feel for his horse. An inspiration!
Ad Hoc 6 Mar 2011 Wow, how refreshing to see a male rider ride so light-aided and sympathetically. I love your extensive use of a two-point seat and forward balance. You're really making it easy for the young horse. I'm so tired of seeing the "modern" show-jumping riders, who constantly are "flexing" the front of their horses into the ground, so you really made my day with this. Thank you!
crW$fR9J 4 Mar 2011 What a great video! I have been struggling with my mare for quite a while with these same issues, and after watching this video she is going much better!
kevin...y 14 Feb 2011 Alex rode the whole sequence very well, and I have a lot of food for thought when teaching my pupils, and schooling my own eventers.
