About this video
Four star event rider, Julie Tew, is a perfectionist about her jumping! Here she demonstrates an exercise she learned from show jumper, Ted Edgar, to sharpen your horse's front end over a fence. Riding her own lovely young eventer, Lord of the Owls, Julie starts by establishing the right 'feel' in canter over a pole (and deals with some spookiness too!). She progresses to a single fence and then on to a grid of four parallels. Julie offers some great tips and crystal clear explanations on how to improve horse and rider technique over a fence.

Fiona Price 4 Apr 2010 I have a feeling Julie explains the 'diagonal' issue in the flatwork video we made of her riding Sir Roselier. See dressage category of Library.
neigh 4 Apr 2010 I noticed the diagonal thing too. But to be honest, she's probably thinking about hte cameras, what she's doing and saying more than that, so just forgot.
PoloChick 21 May 2009 Roseyy - i was always told to correct my diagonal like a professional would do it! i wont do it this way!
PoloChick 21 May 2009 Oh Dear What A shame I Was Loving Watching This Professional Video when i noticed she was on the incorrect diagonal. because surely, if he is a baby, you'd ride him on the right diagonal, to help his balance. i would.
Rosayyy 21 May 2009 In reply to the comment below. I was thinking the same. One thing my instructor has taught me, is to always change the diagonal to help balance my horse. What do other people think ?
