From Wild Horse to Riding Horse - “Curiosity is a horse’s essential drive to explore his world. He sizes up what could possibly be dangerous, but also what could help his survival. It could be a new source of food or water, but also an encounter with a horse that might become a new companion. Curiosity is closely linked with learning behaviour and dealing with new situations. Being curious enough to assess an unfamiliar situation is, therefore, important for survival.”

Exercises to Improve Rideability, Adjustability, and Performance - Show jumping and eventing are demanding, technically driven sports of precision, accuracy, and speed. And riders know that the elusive success to clear each fence or combination of fences is driven by stride control, a skill that not only produces the correct number of strides to approach a fence but, more importantly, the quality of the stride.
