Tip/Quote of the Day # 673
When jumping a fence that is a part of a complex where you feel like you need extra control, don't make the tempting mistake of hanging onto your horse's mouth in the air to try to keep that control. If you interfere with your horse's jumping motion in the air, not only will you ruin his form over the jump, but he will likely resist you, leaving you finding yourself with even less control on the landing. The more perfectly you go with your horse's motion over the jump, the more quickly you will be able to have instant communication and control upon landing.
