Welcome

The show-jumping phase is often an Eventer’snemesis; viewed and anticipated with dread. Riderswho are confident about their own and their horse’sability to fly around cross country or perform wellin the dressage phase are often disappointed withtheir performance in the show jumping ring wherepenalty points can stack up as the poles roll.

Here we give you some advice about how toapproach this key phase, with the help of BritishSenior Eventing Team Show Jumping Coach, PeterMurphy and some practical hints, tips and exercisesto improve your way of going from double BritishOlympic Show Jumper, Geoff Billington.

As well warm-up tips, a variety of exercises andringcraft advice, we also list your nearest BEAccredited Coach who can help you get your seasonoff to a flying start.

Why not gain more ringcraft experience ineventing off season at BE’s own show-jumping andindoor-eventing series, JAS Eventing? Or have a goat Jump Training, where Accredited Coaches watchyour first round, then offer vital feedback to helpyou improve before jumping your second round?They are both great fun. For more details, check outthe BE website. Shows run all over Britain fromJanuary through to April.

So good luck and enjoy yourself this season! �

Tips from the top

British Senior Eventing TeamShow Jumping Coach PeterMurphy offers these tips forEventers, from flatworkthrough to choosing your level of competition

� Flatwork Make sure you are not trying toreplicate your dressage flatworkin your show-jumping flatworkas you warm up. The pace youare going at needs to be morepowerful; not necessarily fasterbut more active and forward.

� WithersMost important here is that your stirrups are the right length;don’t have them as long as in thedressage phase or as short ascross country. Ideally, you don’twant to be sitting too far over the horse’s wither or too deep inthe saddle. Ultimately, you needto be comfortable in adjustingyour balance in the saddle over a fence.

� Using your hand and leg It is very important that the riderdoesn’t purely use the hand andleg as the ‘stop and go’ button. It’s

� RingcraftThis is where the abovepointers all come together;you need to make sure you are in a good powerful pacefor this phase, making sureyou are maintaining bend and control with your handand leg. Ride the course asyou walked it, making sureyou come to your fencesstraight and maintain accuracy.

� Moving up a levelA common mistake here isthinking that once you havecompleted successfully at your current level you areautomatically ready to go up a level. This is not necessarilythe case. Talk to your coachand make sure you discuss

whether you and the horse are ready to move up a levelor whether you need somemore training to go forwardsin the future.

� Getting the right trainerUltimately this is yourdecision; different peoplerespond to different teachingstyles. Some individuals needconstant pressure whereothers need a quieterapproach. I personally thinkthat you know that you havethe right trainer when theyare making sense to you,when they aren’t telling youtoo much in one go, orrushing you. Basically, theyneed to be thorough with you in each phase. �

key that you use your leg topush though corners and lineson the course. Also ensure youuse your hand and leg toregulate the pace and to keepthe horse supple and bending.

� Using pace Adjusting your horse’s paceaccordingly for the timeallowed on the course iscrucial. When you walk thecourse you must walk exactlywhere you are going to ride;knowing exactly where you will need to adjust the power to keep within the time isessential.

Don’t allow the pace to get too long and flat as this willreduce your accuracy in yourlines to the fences.

First things first

Geoff’s top three tipsObedience is crucial in the show-jumping ring. Essentiallyyour horse must go where youwant him to go and do what youwant him to do, when you wanthim to do it.

Your horse must learn to wait, between hand and legbetween fences.

If possible, use your upper-body weight instead of your hand to shorten and lengthenyour horse’s stride and speed. You can practice this by gettingyour horse to lengthen andshorten in the school. Firstly, five

Above: Two of your own strides is thedistance you need either side of apole for landing or take-off. Thenwhen walking out a distance to placeyour fence, measure four of your ownstrides to one of your horse’s strides

strides lengthen, five stridesshorten. Then change the pattern,finally getting down to threestrides lengthen and three stridesshorten.

Athletic jumping – using cavaletti or polesJumping small fences in a grid, such as a cavaletti, workswonders for both your balanceand your horse’s co-ordinationand will improve your feel forrhythm.

While the jumps are small, you can concentrate on your ownposition, allowing your horse to

have a bit of fun whilst movingforwards through the grid.Remember, it is up to you to getthe horse to the fence – it is thenhis responsibility to jump it!

You can trot or canter throughthe grid – it is up to you, but theimportant thing is to always aimfor the centre of the fence, to giveyour horse the best possiblechance of making a clean jumpand steer him to the middle ofthe fences all the way through.

Try and keep a normal, regularcanter stride along the line ofcavaletti, not altering or changingthe rhythm.

You can also vary the distancebetween the cavaletti, so you can alter your horse’s stride. Youcan go from two strides to one or two to three or vary themalong the length of the grid, thusincreasing the challenge for thepair of you.

Once you have mastered goingstraight down the line and lookedat different distances in-between,try a few exercises like turning asyou land over the last one.Approach the line of cavaletti on both the left and right reinand then turn the opposite waywhen you have exited that line.This will increase your horse’ssuppleness and reaction time. It will also keep him listening to you as he doesn’t know whichway you want him to turn next.This is also a great exercise toencourage your horse to land on the correct leg. �

Top: control is important for athletic jumping. Above: practice turning intoand out of your line of cavaletti to increase flexibility and co-ordination

Single fences

By jumping along a grid, you willhave improved your feel for agood canter rhythm. Try bringingin a variety of single fences,varying your approach and line.Once you have mastered that,maybe try riding a figure of eight,so you have your cross pole inthe middle of the eight, and drawan imaginary figure of eight infront and away from it.

This way you will keepapproaching the cross pole on adifferent rein, thus increasing yourreaction times and strengtheningyou and your horse’s ability tojump off any rein.

This exercise is great forexcitable horses as it stops themfrom running away from you and

rushing their fences, as they haveto turn so often. You can use yourhands to gently balance your horseon those turns, but try and useyour leg to keep him going forward.

Try and influence which legyour horse will land on as youjump the cross pole by usingyour body weight. Come in astraight line over the fence, thenask him to bend and turn as he is going over the poles. If you can influence him at this stage,then your show-jumping roundswill become a lot smoother when you get to the ring.

You can build up this figure of eight exercise to incorporatemore jumps. See diagram above.

If you feel confident, you can

include some flying changeswhich will improve and smoothout your show-jumping roundonce you are in the ring. Thisexercise is a great one to practiceyour changes.

Jumping exercise on a circleOnce you have popped a fewjumps using the figure of eightexercise on different reins, moveonto jumping your single fenceon a circle. Just keep popping the fence, keeping your horse inthe same, rhythmical ‘cog’ all theway around, not running away.While doing these simpleexercises, think of your ownjumping position and try andbalance yourself in the approach,

when jumping and when movingaway from the fence.

Flying changeIf you and your trainer are happyto move on to flying changes, youcan practice at home. To ask yourhorse to change, keep your bodyin the centre of the saddle anduse your outside leg behind thegirth when you want to change.Have a light rein contact andlook the way you want to go.

You can then add in morefences and start building up a bit of a course, making sure you do it on both reins.

Serpentine exerciseTry now to string a few fencestogether which are on a curvingline or serpentine. Pace out yourdistances first – remember four

of your strides equals one of yourhorse’s. Plus you need to allowfor two of your strides for alanding and take-off stride either side of the fence. Once you have built your serpentinecourse with three or four fences,walk the line you intend to take.

When mounted, stick to theline you have picked and,importantly, jump in the centreof each fence. Hold your horsebetween hand and leg throughoutthe serpentine, pushing himpositively forward to the nextelement, but not rushing orthrowing him off his stride.

When doing exercises like this,it is easy for the horse to resistand not go where – or do what –you ask him when the exercisegets a little more difficult. Whentraining at home, it is vital thatyou tell him what do, rather than asking him, so that he respectshis rider: there is a difference!

You can also incorporate your flying changes, or try andinfluence a change of leg as youjump each element, if you findthat simpler. Flying changes aresomething you can work on whenpracticing on the flat, changinglegs over a ground pole. �

If your horse needs a bit of support coming into a fence, tryusing ‘v’ poles to guide him into the centre, ground polesbetween the fences will help keep you both straight

BE classes

Your first event is likely to be aBE80(T) or BE90 competition. If you are riding an experiencedhorse with BE points you will still be able to compete in a BE90Open class, but will have to runnon-competitively (HC) inBE80(T) classes.

BE80(T) classes are aneducational step for young andinexperienced riders and horses,and offer a stepping-stone toBE90, BE100 and beyond.

Grading of horsesTo ensure fair competition,horses are graded according tothe number of British Eventingpoints won (if any) and areeligible for different classesdepending on these points.Points are not awarded at BE80, BE90 or BE100 level.�

Elements of a BE course

Once you are comfortablejumping single and multiplefences in a figure of eight, on a circle and on a serpentine,changing the rein and simplechanges, then you can moveon to creating elements ofwhat you will find on a BEcourse. This way you will train for every eventuality that could arise at acompetition

Upright to a parallelA favourite of Course Designersand Builders, this combinationtests a rider’s ability to sit andwait for the first element and thensqueeze or gather your horse upfor the second element of theparallel and keep the poles up!

When approaching this line,keep level all the way in and then when you land, keep yourhorse in front of your leg andthink to yourself ‘even-even-even’ as you count the strides,almost getting your horse tobounce like a rubber ball between hand and leg.

DoublePractice this at home by using ‘v’ poles on the fences, to helpyou aim for the middle and toencourage your horse to keepgoing forward. Also put guidepoles on the ground, which willencourage your horse to movestraight inbetween thecombination.

As you approach the first part

Clockwise: jumping a parallel; upright and planks combined; planks; jumpingthrough a double

of the double, look up and sit up,balancing your horse. Overcomethe urge to throw him at thefence which can sometimeshappen if a rider is anxious aboutmaking it to the second part ofthe combination.

Squeeze your horse in the lastfew strides to the fence to keephim moving forward. Once youhave taken off, focus on thesecond part of the double and sit up as soon as you land to sethim up for the second part. Keepsqueezing, but sit still and quietin the centre of your saddle andwait for the second part to come.

PlanksOften the fence to fall, planks cancause nervous or unpreparedriders unnecessary penalties!When walking the course, look atthe ground to the approach to thefence – does it slope down andaway or up to the planks? Howclose are the other fences to it, are you approaching on the left or right rein? Once you haveconsidered these questions, youare instantly more prepared, as themost important thing to thinkabout when approaching planks,which are often placed on shallowcups, are balance and impulsion. �

Tips on...

…warming up Warm up in trot and canter. Themajority of your jump work willbe done in canter, so you need tothink about how you canimprove your horse’s obedienceand technique in his canter.To jump a course of fences, yourhorse needs to be supple and sowarming up is important.

Try riding him alternatively in the canter with firstly aninside, then an outside bend.Incorporate leg yielding, so heresponds to your leg commandsthe instant you put them on andask him to move away.

Use canter circles, moving himforward then bringing him back,keeping him listening.

Stop and start him on thosecanter circles and try spiralling in and out in the canter, movinghim in and out of the circle withyour leg.

Once he feels warmed up inthe canter, ask your coach to helpyou with counter counter whichis a great suppling exercise inpreparation for show jumping. It helps you as the rider to getcontrol of both the inside and the outside of your horse’s body.

Also incorporate some halts.Get him to come back to you,using your upper body weight to halt him, not your hands andreins. Ensure he stops squarebeneath you each time you haltand is ready to move off at yourslightest command.

Once he is listening, can hold

his rhythm and is taking youforward, then you can start to incorporate some fences.

…vertical fencesSit tall when approaching a vertical and squeeze – do not push.

If approaching a double ofverticals, keep body uprightgoing into the fence, then squeezeto get the second part, holdingyour horse between hand and leg.If you push you will only flattenand your horse will knock off thetop rail.

If you find yourself going intoo fast, just sit back – don’t betempted to throw your horse atthe fence.

…oxer or parallelApproach an oxer in the sameway as a vertical.

It is important to ride forwardwhen landing after an oxer andto drive your horse forward intoyour hand, keeping your rhythm.

Keep your focus on the nextfence.

…moving up the heightsAll you can do as the rider ispresent your horse to the fencelevel, to the centre of the jump,balanced between hand and legand in control. After achievingthis you can then progress from80cm to 1m to 1.20m and higheras long as you keep this principlethe same. If presented correctly,

you will find that the heightmakes no difference to thehorse. The higher you jump,the more the horse will learn tobalance himself better, meaningthat you as a rider will have less to do.

Another tip is to occasionallypractice a higher level at homethan what you will be expectedto jump at your event. If youhave entered a BE90, thenpractice jumping, masteringand feeling comfortablejumping a few 1m courses athome, that way when you getto your competition and walkyour show-jumping course, youwill feel confident in both youand your horse’s ability. �

The show-jumping phase at an event

Walking the courseBefore you head out on course,check your bearings and the sitelayout so you know wheredressage, show jumping and crosscountry are located. Many eventsuse horse walks to prevent horsesgetting mixed up with spectators.The times between phases maywell be quite tight (they will be atleast 30 minutes), so you willneed to know how to get from one to the other,especially if the dressage is someway from the horse box park – the organisation of your tack,equipment and helper isessential! Course walking can alsotake longer than you think. If you

live locally, or have travelled tothe event the day before, walkboth the cross-country andshow-jumping courses the daybefore and then again on the day. When walking the show-jumping course, walk the linebetween the fences carefully andwalk the line you plan to ride. As you go, note the number ofeach fence so that you do notmiss one out! Make sure you can visualise the route you aregoing to take, remembering thecolour or type of fences and alsoif you have to take a left or a right turn after them.

Your show-jumping roundWhen you get to the warm-uparena, find the Collecting Ringsteward to give your number and see how many there are to go before you and who youfollow. Allow enough time towarm up but do not over-jumpthe practice fences or hog them.It is often helpful to watch acouple of rounds before enteringthe arena to remind yourself ofthe course. Remember not tostart before the bell, but approachthe start as soon as it is rung asyou only have 45 seconds tobegin your round.

Remember to breathe, thinkpositive and enjoy yourself! If itdoesn’t go to plan, don’t worry – there is always next time!Besides that, you have the fun of the cross country next.

Should you be unlucky enough to be eliminated for three

refusals, two falls or incurringmore than 24 penalties, you willnot be allowed to go crosscountry. However, if you havebeen eliminated for any otherreason such as missing a fence,you may go straight to thesecretary’s office, who willcontact the BE steward; they may grant permission for you to continue the competition non-competitively (HC). Timemay well be short and youshould make sure that while you are away your team is gettingyour horse ready for the crosscountry. If you have a fall in the show jumping you will not be allowed to start the crosscountry until passed fit by the doctor, so again contact the secretary who will call the doctor.

Please note that if you arecompeting in Junior or Ponyclasses and are eliminated in theshow jumping, for safety reasons,you will not be allowed to gocross country. �
