Four star eventer Louisa Lockwood trains her talented Advanced 8 year old to jump a tricky arrowhead. In the warm-up she explains how she deals with over-enthusiasm, gets the horse between hand and leg and focused on the job. "He must be totally on my aids before I attempt to jump anything technical", says Louisa. Starting with one barrel on it's side with jump wings and 'V' poles on the ground, Louisa progresses to jumping a single barrel on it's end. She says, "the horse must understand every step of the exercise and take you to the fence. You must keep him completely channelled. The point is never to let him think he can run out!"
