I coached James last year and we laid a foundation in his riding to build on. Today was the day to move his riding onwards and he had a wish list. I focused on his foot positioning in turns and his looking and speed judgement in jumping. We began with basic drops to 3ft then onto jumps and a 7ft gap, that’s where we left off last session. From there He really grew in confidence as we rode onto and off the woodwork and linking turns into them too. By the end of the session he was linking gap drops and jumps to 10ft!
