Show jumping involves a course of jumps at a height specific to the division; jumps are usually artificially colored, and the event is timed. Memorize the course of a show jumping competition with help from an equestrian team head coach in this video on equestrian show preparation.
Show jumping involves a course of jumps at a height specific to the division that you've entered, and in general, the jumps tend to be artificially colored and have a lot of fill that make them scary, and show jumping is usually a timed event. So, you need to be tidy with your turns, and smart with your track. The first thing that you do is memorize your course, and I'll demonstrate a small course. We are going to do two lines of jumps and count the strides out loud. Knowing the amount of strides for each course is very important, as it ensures that you get to the jump in each line in good form and safely. So this line should be three strides... and this line should be four strides. So that's an example of a very basic course. The more advanced you get, the harder the courses will become, and the more complex.
