Fine Tuning Stadium | David O'Connor | PART 01

Part 1: David works with a rider to stay soft and give her hands over the jump to allow her horses front end to come up. He helps the riders create more effective turns by using less bend and controlling the hind end with a feeling of haunches in and keeping the shoulder back. The rider finally manages to give over the fence and has a much improved jump with more snap in front and a nicer shape in the air. Another horse struggles with the oxer and David coaches the rider to help the horse stay square and push over.
