Bounces to improve your jumping, with eventer Harry Meade (TRAILER)

This is a trailer for a video which can be found here

Four-star event rider Harry Meade uses his 6 year old, Jovial Valentino (Tino), to demonstrate the usefulness of bounces in a jumping grid. Before he begins, the commentary of his warm up proves as valuable. Harry talks us through what he is asking the horse and how it will assist with his jumping. The grid itself is unusual, consisting of 6 bounces using one wing and one pole only, in alternating directions to create the illusion of a cross. This way the horse will learn for himself how to jump economically, namely in the centre of each jump!

@SlashJunky OK THANKS:)

[SlashJunky]

@ComeHomeFeeefeee They're bounces, so one stride, normally. The last is two. Typically, a stride is twelve feet.

[ComeHomeFeeefeee]

wats the distance between those jumps?

[strawbericalpony]

@imladynocturne eta i meant at least one stride between each fence.

[strawbericalpony]

@imladynocturne this is a grid, deffinately. a bounce has exactly what you said wereas this has a stride between each fence indeed making it a grid.

@imladynocturne There are poles in between the actual raised poles :D So its a bounce x

[imladynocturne]

Isn't this a grid, not a bounce? I always thought that a bounce didn't have a full stride (or more) inbetween, whereas a grid could have up to two strides.
