My horse is slowly learning his own striding and has to rely on me less, but do you know of any exercises i can do with him to teach him his own striding at a fence?
jump him on the lunge.
or use placing poles - sorry, not sure what the distances are but my instructer did this with me and my horse so that I didn thave to think about the stride because so long as they get over the pole they are in the perfect place to take off for the fence. was brilliant.
