Tip/Quote of the Day # 4313
A horse that is well balanced, with the right amount of impulsion for the jump at hand, can safely and comfortably leave the ground from just about any reasonable takeoff spot.
When a horse and rider have an apparent "miss", that causes a rail down or even a fall, the problem is the balance of the canter on the approach, NOT the takeoff spot. Riders who ride the quality of the canter instead of looking for a takeoff spot are the ones who never miss!
