How to ride across country British Eventing DVD now online
How to ride across country - British Eventing DVD now online As part of British Eventing's commitment to improving safety for horse and rider across country, it has launched a cross country riding DVD as part of its Safety Manifesto to visually show how - and how not to, ride across country. |  |
"The short film highlights common rider faults that can be addressed with training, such as cross country riding speed, approach to fences and jumping techniques over a variety of fences."
British Eventing's Performance Manager, Yogi Breisner, and a member of BE's Safety Committee, choreographed the training DVD which was shot at Aston-Le-Walls Eventing Centre last month.
"Riding across country is very different to that of show jumping and is one that needs to be practiced before attempting your first event," explains Yogi. "It is important to build your and your horse's confidence over a variety of different types of fences that you may meet at a BE event."
The DVD is available online at www.britisheventing.com by following the link from the ‘Safety' icon on the homepage, and is free to view.
To find a specialized eventing trainer in your area, look up BE's list of Accredited Coaches on our website, who can also recommend local cross country training grounds. Many also run training sessions over the winter, where you can go along with your horse and learn with a group of riders wanting to compete at a similar level.
