Stride control (striding) is an essential part of any rider's
development when jumping obstacles, and jumping them well, is a
goal. Understanding and implementing stride control (being able to
adjust the number of strides before and between fences) improves a
horse's rideability and allows the rider to further improve the
horse's technique over an obstacle. Jen Marsden Hamilton discovered
striding from the master himself: former US Show Jumping Chef
d'Equipe credits her as being the first student to whom he taught
the method that he'd learned from Bertalan De Nemethy, one of his
mentors. Now, after coaching countless riders and horses around the
world in the striding techniques that brought her success during
her own impressive competitive career, Hamilton has compiled her
knowledge in a concise book of exercises and insightful strategies.
This fun, approachable guide will help all riders train with
correctness and form good habits at home so they can be stars at
their next jumping or eventing competition. Exercises include
detailed set-up instructions and illustrations for reference; clear
discussion of the purpose and strategy for the training session;
and helpful tips, to ensure all involved are benefiting from the
lesson. Throughout, Hamilton's straight-talk and wry humour
provides entertainment as well as advice, providing an all-around
superb guide to this necessary jumping skill.
