Rideability For Jumping, Preliminary | Karen O'Connor | PART 01

Part 1: Karen works with the riders to establish a light an elastic contact with hands that are still and arms that are in motion. She works with one rider to encourage her horse to come rounder by holding the bit still in his mouth and using the leg, rather than creating a lot of distracting movement with the bit. The riders work on focusing on the future, riding their horses to where they'd like them to be and how they'd like them to be going, in three strides time. Karen helps a rider make her horse's strength work for her rather than against her, while the group works on two and three point positions.
