Thought this may entertain you,
I have problems where I freeze up when jumping and dont breathe, so I get VERY tired just doing a short course because of I'm holding my breath.
So as an exercise, my instructor set up a double, and said "I want to hear a big breath in as you go past me over the jump" - fine (sort of), next she wanted me to count the strides coming into, over etc over the jumps - again fine (minus a few whispered F words
).
Yet again I went over the double but Bengal took a half stide to the fence just as I was expecting him to jump so the counting went "1, 2, B***** *********!"
Well it got me breathing
