How many...

[katie_and_toto]

striding question for you all... i'm going showjumping (just a clear round and if Toto's a good boy might enter a proper class

) on sunday for the first time in... pretty much ever

I want to make a double (jump, two canter strides, jump) or triple (jump, one stride, jump, two strides, jump) in the school tomorrow to practice. I'm 13 but short and Toto's 14.2hh, how mant normal walking strides shall I do between each jump?

Thanks

Probably approx 8 of your strides but you may need 7 or 9 depending on how long your ponies strides are. Trial and error really but 8 is a rough guide!!
