Gaining Control After the Fence with Beezie Madden

Many riders focus on gaining control approaching a fence, but in today's competitions--with their tight time requirements, small venues, and highly technical courses--it's also important to gain control quickly after a jump. As two-time Olympic gold medalist Beezie Madden puts it, "The landing from one fence is already the approach to another fence."
