Lexi Merison demonstrates excellent balance and position as she negotiates the show jumping course of Fitches Corner Event, notice she is looking for the next fence

-Do your homework before attending a show
-Work your horse through gymnastic grids
-Learn to adjust strides on course
-always walk your course no matter what level
-Pay attention to your rhythm, balance and straightness approaching each fence
-Eyes up, look ahead to the next jump
-Remember that jumping is dressage over fences, ride your corners in balance
-start your course with a circle and finish with a circle, NEVER just gallop out the ingate
