International showjumper and young horse producer, Sarah Lewis shares a jumping exercise designed to improve straightness and control for both horse and rider
This jumping exercise to improve straightness and control was taught to me by Malcolm Pyrah. I find this is useful for horses of all ages as it helps with concentration and it is also helpful for rider position and straightness. I find it particularly useful as a competition preparation exercise as it really focusses on rider concentration and reaction time. It can easily be done in a 20x60m or slightly smaller arena.
