Tip/Quote of the Day # 221
If you keep your horse balanced at the gallop between fences, you will have less "set up" work to do in front of the jumps. This means that you can be faster, smoother, and more efficient at the fences. Which will help to preserve your horse's energy on course, as well as his overall soundness.
