Riders from last summer may not recognize this, since we had an extraordinary drought and the grass was brown most of the summer! It rained three days right after you all left and this is what the jumping field looked like then. Jump #1, a low and inviting natural log jump. But it is narrow and with no wings requires careful control. Jumps #2, 3. A and 3. B. Jump #2 poses no special problem, but it is set just 6. Irish Bank, requiring riders to choose between riding forward for four strides to the bank, or taking back to add a fifth stride. Your choice will depend on how comfortable your horse is with banks. Jump #4 is a simple vertical. By itself this jump would pose no problems, but the approach includes a full right hand roll- back turn after the Irish Bank, and then a slight left turn to fence #4. Most horses will have properly switched to the right lead on the rollback turn, but the rider will have to decide whether to ride straight at fence #4 off this turn and take #4 at a slight angle, or to turn left to #4 and make a change of leads in a relatively short distance. If you don't do a careful change of lead here, you may find your horse will switch only in front and cross- canter until just before the fence. This is a common cause of knock downs. You can see that a fairly subtle turning problem can make a simple jump a tricky problem. Jump #5 and alternate #5. Jump #6 is the low log in the center of the frame. Jump #7. Jump #8 is a . Hogsbacks look scary, but are actually an easy jump since they are shaped the same way a horse jumps; a natural arc. Fence #9, below, is set as a square oxer. They can be uneven, with the second element higher than the first, or squared like this one. That distance happens to be exactly halfway between a perfect four strides and perfect five stride line. On a curved line like this a rider always has a choice between cutting the corner a little to shorten the distance, or going a little wide to lengthen the distance. A rider also has to consider that most horses will be shortening their stride a little while turning. Jumps #1. 0A, 1. 0B, 1. C, and #1. 1Jumps #1. A, 1. 2B, 1. 2C, and Jump #1. Jump #1. 4The approach to jump #1. The preferred approach here was to cut inside fence #1, taking the final jump at a slight angle and saving some . Going around fence #1 would give a slightly straighter approach to #1. First problem is that you have just ridden a triple combination finishing over two square oxers, and you will be pushing your horse forward. With only four strides distance to make this turn, things will be happening VERY quickly. Second, the fence #1. With the brush on only one side of the jump, a horse which may already have an inclination to run- out to the left will be invited to do so by the lack of brush on the left side. Finally, this fence is narrow - only five feet wide. And it consists of only a single pole, with lots of air underneath, and a natural ground rail. This is the most difficult riding problem on the whole course, and is why this is near the end of the course. Fence #1. 5, Water Jump. This fence was not actually a part of this jumping course, since it is an olympic class water jump, and very few horses or riders competing at our shows would be qualified to attempt this. We include the picture as an interesting example of another type of show jump.
