"See-a-Stride" Challenge
This revolutionary program will guarantee that you find an excellent take off spot (to even the most frightening XC fences)...
 Have you ever galloped down to a fence and thought, ”Oh crap!”?
There is no better feeling than galloping down to a jump when everything looks and feels just right. You arrive at the perfect spot and fly over the fence without a care, congratulating your horse as you gallop away, his ears pricked as he takes you eagerly to the next fence. Â
But …This-Does-Not-Work
 Â
 AND… the other, “not-so-fun,” times when you fall off?
When you miss your stride and part ways with your horse, bruising more than just your ego? Â
“How do I see a stride? ”
 is the question that many riders ask me. But what they usually mean is “How do I make sure I won’t end up falling off?”
The simple answer unfortunately,
is that you can’t.
We are not riding robots and even the most docile horse can be unpredictable at times.Â
However, you can minimise your chances of trouble by implementing your “Rider Responsibilities”.
The truth is that the bigger the fences, the more chances there are for things to go wrong.Â
Just look at the epic fall I took at Badminton in 1986Â
It was one of those very rare occasions that I did feel my horse had made an error of judgement. He decided to take off a full stride early and then put down again. But such misreads are few and far between.
Most falls I see at lower levels of competition are due to the rider believing that it is their job to jump the fence, (which it isn’t) instead of letting the horse work it out and do his job. As a rider your mission is to “set up” the correct gear for each fence and then make sure he sees the fence at the earliest possible moment – and – importantly – desires it.
Your job is then to regulate that desire to the pace that is appropriate for the fence, as you maintain the balance, so your horse can figure out the way to jump it. Â
