Video Discussion # 40: Let's watch this video with Tim Stockdale giving tips for riding a jumpoff round!
Tim says, "My philosophy is that while the emphasis on being quick around the course is obviously important, you should only go as fast as you can jump clear, because clear rounds always beat the fastest four faults."
Even though we don't have jumpoffs in Eventing, I think this is an important thing to consider for our show jumping phase. So often I see riders thinking about making the time in their show jumping, and going faster to get that done. When it would be smarter to make more economical turns instead of going faster - as increasing your speed can increase your chances of knocking rails down. What are your thoughts on this?
