Love this one for Maria's observation of how the rider prepares the same way to each jump. Really shows what is possible when you are consistent in your preparation such that your horse learns what it means!

I just can't get enough of watching this talented rider negotiate this extreme course at high speed. His consistency and continual forward flow while he collects his horse in preparation for jumping super challenging obstacles is incredible. Watch his galloping postion then his hips change about 10 strides from the obstacle then he sits lightly for 2 - 3 strides then takes a text book jump and is instantly back to the gallop....ever time!
Very impressive.
