There is no beter way to learn than to watch an expert do it
Eventing is one of the few sports where Olympians and competitors at the highest level of the sport also compete at lower levels (imagine turning up at your local gold course to find Tiger Woods having a hit there!)
Have you ever noticed how quickly you can grasp an idea when you are shown something rather than just told it? That’s because 65% of people are Visual Learners according to the Social Science Research Network
So take advantage of watching some of the world's best competing at lower levels as they produce their horses - compare it to your ride and see where the differences lie and what you can learn from these top class riders to improve your own performance and help your horse
Below is Caroline Powell riding the eight-year-old Fire Fox, winners of the BE100 Open Section H at Keysoe (3).
Watch and learn!
