Back to Basics: Building Balance and Connection

After a busy show season, it’s time to return to the essentials.
Under the guidance of international showjumper Holly Smith, Hannah Robins focuses on rebuilding a steady, even connection and refining her horse’s rideability.

This session emphasizes rhythm, balance, and clear communication- adjusting stride lengths between poles, finding the correct take-off point, and maintaining relaxation throughout.
With Holly’s guidance, Hannah encourages her horse to use its whole body more effectively over the jumps, developing strength, suppleness, and confidence.

Holly’s calm and systematic approach shows how thoughtful basics not only improve control and connection but also help the horse jump more powerfully and with better form.
