7 fairly large strides
1 non jumping stride = 4 big paces (4 yds)
take off and landing are 1.5 yds each so that = 3 big paces
So if you want to add more strides inbetweena jump, take 7 as one, and add 4 strides for every horse stride you want thereafter.... Make sense?

For a short striding 15.1 you will probably find it comfortable to school over doubles set on 7 or 7 1/2 of your walking strides.
For BSJA / BE a 1 stride double will always be set 24ft apart (8 of your walking strides).
Longer related distances are multiples of this (2 horse strides = 12 of your strides, 3 = 16, 4 - 20 etc.).
If you plan to compete your horse, it is worth getting used to the feel of a 12 foot stride.
Slightly tighter combinations can be a useful schooling exercise though.
