Thank you for this. I’m an old foxhunter/eventer coming back to the ring after nearly 20 years. I rode my fences by finding the distance that worked for my horse and me. All this fuss and bother in the show hunter ring had me disregarding my instinct to find that ‘perfect’ distance, which seemed to elude me every time. After a while, I just stopped looking and went back to my old ways and remarkably my ‘eye’ improved. Not surprised. In the hunt field, you better get it right or it’s a long walk home. But, I got worried that I was breaking some taboo and went looking for affirmation. This video was it. Sometimes you come in a little long or a little short, ride the rhythm, don’t make a bother, and your horse will do his job. That’s how I was raised. That’s what I will put my faith in. Thank you!

Love it, same way I think. You can hide a long distance from the outside eye but just riding through it calmly and staying over the center of gravity with your horse no matter what. What is perfect anyways? Harmony with your horse and balance is always paramount for team work. Wonderful video as always, thanks guys!

Hunters and Dressage horses that I ride love to approach the jump with confident, comfortable rhythm. 9 chances out of 10 if you line them up they will jump, especially if they know you will stay out of their way. With jumpers or field hunters, I like a horse with just a little bit of forwardness that will take me to the jump. Logs, ditches, hedges, and walls have very little room for error, so I like that when a horse, who knows better how to jump, takes the initiative. After all, they aren't computers or robots, but partners. Sometimes you gotta give them the initiative.
