About this video

The six year old home-bred stallion has completed his first season eventing and according to 4* eventer Alex Peternell, "is a bit too relaxed and still a little green". Alex uses a show jumping warm-up in preparation for some cross country jumping exercises in the school, ensuring the horse is in front of the leg, the only difference is that the pace is a little quicker and the horse takes off a bit further from the fence. Alex introduces a skinny within a combination, and moves onto angled fences that can be bounced or jumped on one stride. He says, "these exercises surprise the horses a little, just like going cross country, and keep him thinking ahead."
