Alex Hua Tian's 13 year old eventer Jeans, is aimed at WEG. Alex explains that Jeans has two main issues; he's excitable and he has a huge amount of raw power over a fence. "It's essential that he remains utterly calm at home and during the warmup at events", says Alex. This means focusing on staying soft, supple, deep, round and working in a familiar routine which includes travers and leg yield. Alex helps Jeans contain his power by placing a tight canter pole in front of the fence. He progresses to a serpentine exercise (with a twist!) as it helps both of them to think ahead, keep a rhythm and stay calm and balanced around the corners!
