Exercises for Quick Horses with Laura Kraut

If you have a horse or pony that gets a too quick heading toward a jump, there are some exercises that can help improve his focus and responsiveness to the rider. In this video, Olympic gold medalist Laura Kraut gives her top tips for slowing the pace and keeping good rhythm. She cautions that changing a horse's instinct to quicken for a fence isn't a quick fix: be patient, repeat the exercises, and don't forget to consider how you might unwittingly be encouraging the horse to quicken, too. In the video, Kraut is riding Confu owned by St. Bride's Farm.
