The better your horse behaves for your farrier, the better job your farrier can do. Let’s face it. No one wants to have to pick out a hoof or look at an injured hoof when a horse is behaving badly. Neither does your farrier. It’s hard enough to keep your own feet out of the way and not get stepped on on a good day. Imagine what your farrier has to cope with as he wrestles around with tools and nails, deals with a nervous owner, or dodges the barn dog running underfoot to grab a snack of hoof, and on top of that, your horse is bouncing around from side to side. Your horse’s safety and your farrier’s safety depend of your horse’s behavior. We all know that sometimes horses do misbehave, become afraid, or jump around. But if your horse chronically misbehaves while being shod, you need to work with him to resolve this issue. Daily handling of your horse and his feet is the best solution to helping your horse behave for the farrier. Is your horse misbehaving due to pain, fear, prior mismanagement, or lack of education? The solution depends on what’s bothering your horse. Here are some tips to help you determine why your horse is misbehaving. If that’s the case, talking to the vet may be in order. Usually a horse that is patiently handled will gain trust in both the handler and the farrier in a short time. As long as you can determine the cause of his fear and avoid it, your horse should return to his confident self in no time. For example, maybe he’s afraid because he sees or smells the smoke from a hot shoe, the sound of the grinder, having been stuck with a high nail from the last shoeing, or been scared by a running dog while on the cross ties. If your horse had been mismanaged during prior shoeing or trimming, he should be dealt with as a horse with fear issues. You must be patient and repeatedly build his confidence. Both you and your farrier should have a system so your horse gains confidence with each lift of the hoof. If you acquire a young horse or a horse that hasn’t had proper handling, be sure to work with the horse before the farrier comes for the first time! 5. Sometimes your horse may behave better when you’re not there. Ask your farrier what he prefers. I know from experience that when I’m present, my own mare pays more attention to me than to the farrier. That makes his job significantly harder. Instead of focusing on the farrier, she pays attention to me (usually begging for a treat). As a result, she doesn’t focus on her job of picking up her feet and standing still for him. I respectfully let him shoe my mare when I’m not there, knowing that she’ll behave better for him that way.

Equestrians have been estimated to be at a higher risk of injury than participants of other sports. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness of the use of appropriate riding boots, breakaway stirrups and approved helmets. So many kids don’t use proper safety equipment because it’s not “Cool”. If a product saves your life or saves you from being injured, it’s definitely worth using that product. Safety should always be top priority for every rider, young and old.

What is the difference between movements, figures and patterns in dressage?

Many people ask me about the choreography of their dressage freestyle pattern. One of the confusions surrounding a freestyle pattern is what is allowed and what is forbidden at a certain level. Before you can begin to build a pattern you need to know the difference between movements and figures so that you don’t try something that is on the “forbidden” list at your level.

The goal of working with your horse is t develop a relationship based upon trust and respect. Occasionally we tend to abuse this relationship and test the strength of the developed trust through various sins against our horses. Below I have listed the most frequently observed sins that will test our relationship with our horse.
Number one is constantly pulling on the reins as we ask the horse to perform something. This must be replaced with a take and give to loose rein to encourage the horse to lower their head and take up the bit.
Number two is attempting to teach your horse a new skill at a pace faster than a trot. New skills need to be learnt at a walk and progress to a trot. Your horse will not learn a new skill or movement at any pace faster and attempting to do so will only lead to frustration for both you and your horse.
Number three is to continually work your horse without adequate breaks during the training session. We would not accept this in any training regime of ours so how can we expect it of our horses. Breaks will serve to allow the horse to relax, feel good and process information and so assist his learning.
Number four is too often we get into a fight with our horses. This is a battle we can not win, if only based on sheer size. If your horses is getting mad, ease off and rethink what you are asking, does he have the skill and fitness to perform, does he know how?
Number five is at times we keep pushing our horses when we run into problems. The horse at these times is trying to tell us he does understand or is frustrated and had enough. It is best to go back to the basics and soften up on your aids and riding to give him a break, whilst doing something he can easily perform.
Number six is leaving and stopping working with a horse when he is mad. The horse will only commence from this point next time you start to work with him. All training and work should be ended on a good note so that he is feeling good and then it is easier to commence your next session on a positive note.
Number seven is that we often overlook the need to spend sufficient time teaching our horse to give. This ability to give to pressure and resistance is the core of any training and skill performance, and so it will pay enormous dividends to spend lots of time teaching your horse to give.
Training and working with your horse will be far more enjoyable and productive if you can avoid these cardinal sins.

When you lead your horse and stop him, try squaring him up. This means his two front feet are directly across from each other and his two back feet are directly across from each other. Squaring up a horse isn’t as easy as it may sound. You keep moving them around until you get a foot where you want it, but once you do they move another foot. Then, they’re still not squared up.

Do not let your horse handle you; you need to act as the leader from the herd.Horse instruction is also about proper handle. Training horses can be compared to building a brick house. It takes some time before you can finish building it. So you must give your horse time in learning the numerous lessons with the instruction plan. The various system parts of your horse should be easily controlled; it is possible to begin by controlling 1 component at a time. While doing this, you need to be an active rider, not a reactive a single. MotivationThis could be the very first lesson to introduce for your horse. Horses are wild animals by nature. They eat, play, groom, and sleep. Nonetheless, they are also known as herd animals and a mare controls the whole herd. So that you can effectively train your horse, you may need to act as the leader with the herd. Since you are going to train your horse, it’s like asking your horse to function for you. You have to think of something which will motivate your horse to follow the teaching system you’ve set up for him. Horses do not desire to be led and that’s one fact that you simply ought to accept. But it doesn’t end there. You ought to not give up yet. SpotThis really is where ’spot’ comes in. You have to discover a specific area that you can manage to ensure that your horse will stick to. This may possibly take time but just keep on trying to identify the proper place about the horse’s body. DirectionAfter you’ve discovered a place, you must decide about the direction. Each part from the horse’s entire body can go in various directions – left, correct, forward, backward, down, and up. Pick only a single direction. Make sure that your horse understands your aids or signal to ensure that he will not be baffled. RewardThis could be the last lesson. When your horse follows your signals, do not forget to give him a reward. You are able to give him a treat or you are able to simply pat him lightly and say ‘that’s a great boy/girl’.The four lessons seem very effortless but it is different when you’re already about the training ground. Stubborn horses are hard to manage and you’ll need lots of time and patience. In case you lack experience, really don’t hesitate to consult the professionals. Do not be discouraged mainly because not all horses are stubborn; you will find also those who are effortless to function with. The secret would be to teach the four lessons one at a time. When your horse is familiar with the lessons, you’ll encounter fewer problems. Identifying a motivating factor is not as simple as you believe. Begin out early. You ought to also be a great rider to ensure that you won’t be baffled in interpreting the horse’s moves. Discover all that it is possible to about proper horse instruction. You should study the horse’s behavior and personality. Try to discover how to incorporate these four lessons for your instruction program and finest of luck to you.There’s also helpful info on Equestrian Riding Equipment

There are a few things that some people wish to do before they die. For some they want to climb Mount Everest, some want to see the ancient pyramids, and some just want to learn to ride a horse. Fortunately for me I was able to learn to ride a horse at a very young age and it’s something I have enjoyed my whole entire life. If you wish to learn to ride a horse I’ll give you just a couple of things that you should learn to do right at the start.
One of the first things that you should do when you learn to ride a horse is to learn how to lead one. That’s probably not what you had in mind but still, it’s kind of important. You shouldn’t be standing at the end of the lead rope trying to pull your horse along and you also shouldn’t be standing at their shoulder letting them lead you along. There’s no control in either of those methods. The best way to lead a horse is to stand with your shoulder pretty close to their throatlatch and about a foot over to the side of them. That way you have enough room between the two of you for comfort. With one hand right below the lead snap and the other holding the rest of the lead line, you will step forward with the horse hopefully following. If it doesn’t then you just simply push gently in the direction you want to go with the hand that has the snap. That will give you the most control over the horse.
Now that you know how to lead a horse your horseback riding lessons will flow smoother. When you learn to ride a horse you have to be in control and if you can lead one with control on the ground you have a better chance of being able to learn to ride a horse. Riding a horse works best when you know that you’re in control. If you think that you can’t ride a horse, you will never be able to learn proper horseback riding. They will know that you’re scared and take total advantage of you. That’s all there is to it. If you get scared just take some deep breaths and tell yourself that you’re the boss. Any time my mare and I have a “discussion” and she thinks that she’s the boss I calmly let her know that I’m the boss and that I’m always going to win. And I always do. You can’t get rough and be mean but you have to be firm. If you start beating and thumping on a horse, odds are it’s gonna scared and then you might get scared. Not a good thing.
You can learn to ride a horse by taking lessons but unless you are with a trainer that has a goal of teaching you something in particular, you might be able to get the same effects by watching a few videos or reading some horse training books. And a lot of those books you can purchase online for a reasonable cost. No sense making horse ownership any more expensive than it needs to be. If you learn to ride a horse, you are learning a skill that has been around for hundreds of years and obviously is still important to this day because people still do it. Mainly some will learn to ride a horse for pleasure, relaxation or just time by themselves. What’s you’re reason?

All racing fans will concur that nothing can beat the excitement of racing horses on an actual race track. However, online racing games are a good alternative to keep in mind if you are concerned with getting a share of the adventure associated with horse racing from your home; anywhere in the world. Most horse games online are equipped with 3 D features that make the game that much more exciting. Good online horse race games have graphics that work at producing images that make the racing feel as close to the real thing as possible. Some of these virtual games may require you to have an updated computer so that it can do justice to the imagery and the effects that are on offer.

Horse racing is synonymous with betting. Many people bet purely for the fun of it; looking at the name of the horse, the name of the jockey, or even obtuse ideas such as the birthday of the jockey. Some people take the betting on races a lot more seriously though, and many earn a living doing it. The top tipsters often have a horse betting system they follow religiously. Here are some of the essential things you should consider if you want to create a successful horse racing betting system: DistanceThe distance when referred to horse racing is how far the horses have to run in order to reach the finishing line. The distance is a crucial factor that you have to weigh up before you pick out the horse that you will lay a bet on. Horses are no different to people. Some are blessed with great stamina and can run for miles and miles. Some have great speed, but can only keep the speed up for short distances. Each horse will have a preferred distance, and it will be your job to know what a particular horse’s favoured distance is. before laying a bet on it. Number of RunnersThe number of runners in a race is also a very important element to consider when betting. A horse’s chance of winning is significantly influenced by the number of contenders in a race. If the field is big, then there is more risk of either accidental contact or blocking of a path through the field. It is more difficult to choose which horse will do well in the race where there are so a lot of runners in a race. The GroundAnother important thing that you should take into consideration when betting on a horse is the kind of ground in which the horse will run. The ground could be referred to a good, soft, heavy, firm or combinations of the above. As with distance, horses will have preferences as to the type of going that they run on, and again it is your job as a betting expert to know this. Checking previous form can often give you a clue because a horses successes will have been recorded as well as the type of ground the success were on. When the Last Race was RunYou need to be aware of a horses training schedule. A horse in the early part of it’s season, may be put out to run in a warm up race. You wouldn’t be surprised to know that this type of race would be a bad one to select to try and pick a horse as a winner. It would be better to find their schedule and see if you can discover what the trainer’s aim for that horse is. Getting Help From The Racing PapersThe racing papers are a mine of information for the budding horse race betting strategist. Each horse will have its racing record laid bare before you. You will be able to assess if the horse is a course winner, a distance winner or a combination of both. The better racing papers may also give you an indication of the horses distance and going preferences as well. Each of these will help you narrow your search for a race winner. Discover 97% rates with this excellent horse betting losses into profits.

Understanding the saddle?
The structure that you put on an animal’s back to support the rider or other types of load is called a saddle. When one speaks of saddles, it is commonly associated with horses. But any kind of animal that could be ridden on its back has its own corresponding type of saddle. Horse saddles are a crucial piece of equipment for anyone serious about horse training.
There are two main types of saddles – the English saddle and Western saddle. These are the two types of saddle primarily used in the equestrian world, although there are many types of horse saddles used worldwide. In other nations, saddles of different designs exist. Saddles differ greatly among various ethnic groups and nationalities. It can be fun to learn about how each one is utilized.
Ordinarily, choosing what saddle to use should depend on the kind of riding you intend to do with your horse. Even narrowing it down to English or Western riding, saddles can still be broken up in many categories such as for dressage and show, endurance, pleasure or general purpose. Some common horse saddle terms you should familiarize yourself with are pommel, cantle, horn and cinch.
The English Horse Saddle
In Olympic equestrian events, the English saddle is the main type of saddle used. As the name suggests, this is the favored type among the majority of English riders. However, the English saddle can still be categorized into several more specific styles depending on the kind of event that is involved. Whether it is for show jumping, hunter jumper, eventing, dressage, horse racing, saddle seat, or polo, an appropriate type of saddle is consequently used.
The Western Horse Saddle
The Stock saddle or Western saddle is the most commonly used variety in the United States. This is the type of saddle you will see used by cowboys on cattle ranches. Today, it is used in a variety of western riding activities. Distinctively, western saddles don’t have as much padding underneath and must be used with saddle blankets or pads so that they can be comfortable for the horse. They do provide much more support for the rider.
Western saddles have stirrups that are sturdier and can utilize numerous cinches depending on what they are being used for. The horn present on the front is one major factor that distinguishes this type of saddle from its English counterpart. The horn is originally used to tie a lariat when roping cattle.
Finding the Right Size
The tree of the saddle, is the frame on which the saddle is constructed. It is usually made of wood or sometimes fiberglass and then covered with leather. The frame is made to fit both the rider and the horse.
Finding the saddle that fits may require more work than you may think. An ill-fitting saddle can cause injuries to both the horse and rider. Bruising and sores may result on your horse’s back muscles if you do not choose a saddle that fits properly. It is important to have a trial period before actually buying your saddle. Think of it as a piece of sports equipment for a human, it varies greatly from each individual horse. Be sure to always keep your tack clean and well oiled to prevent breakage or unnecessary discomfort to your horse.
Tips for an English Saddle
-Without a pad, put the saddle on the horse and tighten the girth -Have a person sit in the saddle. Their feet should be in the stirrups -Slide your fingers underneath the pommel. Make sure that you can comfortably get three fingers in between the arch below the pommel and the horse’s withers. -The saddle should not get in the way of the horse’s shoulder movement by having someone lift the horse’s foreleg and pull it to the front. While doing this, your fingers should be between the top of the horse’s shoulder blade and the pommel. This must be done on both sides. -Standing behind the horse and looking under the saddle, some light should be seen when the horse’s head is down. -Make sure the saddle isn’t too long. It shouldn’t reach back onto the horse’s loins
Tips for a Western Saddle
-At least an inch thick of pad should be underneath the saddle -The stock saddle should be placed on the horse’s back and the cinch tightened so a set of fingers can be placed comfortably between the girth and the animal. -With someone on the saddle, make sure you can fit three fingers between the arch of the pommel and the horse’s withers -Make sure that the width of the saddle tree is fitting for the horse. Put three fingers with a flat hand sideways between the saddle and the top of the horse’s withers. If the fit is loose, the tree is too narrow, if it is too tight and you have to squeeze in your fingers, then the tree is too wide

Horse Racing Handicapping – 3 Approaches to Choose a Winner
Wagering inside a equine race is centered on picking the horse with the very best odds of winning and horse racing handicapping is the very best way to complete this. This is definitely an opinion endorsed by experts over time.Plenty of theories with regards to horse racing handicapping have been developed recently and these concepts or angles as they’re called, are proving to become quite valuable to those who are significant about their betting.1. Speed Figures HandicappingThe most popular angle in horse racing handicapping, this theory demands the handicapper to appear for the figures that denote the speed at which every horse has operate from the previous races. These figures are obtainable in the Daily Racing Forms, but the online, with its plethora of articles and analytical discussions supply the best details. The horse with the most effective timings usually wins a race. This angle has its drawbacks. The fact that the details is so effortlessly available renders it ineffective to some extent. The simple accessibility with the speed figures enables everyone and any individual to use them in picking the winner, thereby diminishing the man or women winnings. But in spite of that, this is an successful angle and most handicappers use it.2. Trainer HandicappingThis can be an additional quite well-known and powerful angle in horse racing handicapping. It’s popularly accepted that the trainer has the capability to extract the very best performance from a racehorse. Researchers have realized that horses trained by certain trainers arrive up winners much more often than other horses. You can find several trainers that have the knack of even converting a horse thought to be being a poor bet into a winner by improving its performance. Finding out how a horse, in the starting of its career is taken for the winning post by a trainer, or how a trainer makes a winner out of the horse which has lately appear to him, are going to be advantageous to a handicapper. Details about the performances of trainers is also easily readily available and that limits the financial gains from this angle.three. Pace HandicappingPace handicapping can be a program where the handicapper selects a winner based for the speeds of the horse in person stretches of a race. This theory advocates the thought that a horse that runs the early stretches quick and gains a lead at the beginning of the race, is a lot more likely to turn out to be the winner. If a horse had run past races at incredibly quickly speeds even though it had lost the race, it had far better than even odds of winning the existing race. That is what this angle suggests. This theory as well has its drawbacks. An account in the performances of the specific horse concerning its pace may perhaps not have regarded as other aspects like track and weather conditions. Every single horse has its own specific abilities and handicaps making it tough to compare horses based only on their speeds.These and a couple of other horse racing handicapping angles, like Class Handicapping and Physicality Handicapping are perhaps the most effective techniques to choose a winner inside a horse race.Horse Racing Handicapping

The Canadian Horse or Cheval Canadien was developed in Canada and has been relatively unknown in recent times due to its scarcity, but it has influenced many other North American breeds, including the Morgan, Tennessee Walking Horse, American Saddlebred, and Standardbred, and the Canadian Pacer, which had a profound impact on several gaited breeds of today. It is a recognized horse breed, indigenous only to Canada. It is so rare that several times the breed almost went extinct, but now the Canadian Horse has many supporters both inside and outside of Canada and is Canada’s National Horse. The Canadian Horse originated from the Norman and Breton horses sent by King Louis XIV of France in the late 1600’s to the New World. These French horses are believed to have been of Arab, Andalusian and Barb ancestry since many traits of those breeds can still be recognized in the Canadian Horse today. Over several hundred years, the French horses were bred amongst themselves with little influence from outside breeds and eventually developed in the distinct breed known as the Canadian Horse or Cheval Canadien. Since the breed was developed under the adverse conditions of harsh inclement weather, scarce food, and hard work, they became tough, strong, tolerant horses that are extremely easy keepers. The Canadian Horse is considered to be the sturdiest and most acclimatized horse in Canada and their strength was legendary. It has been rumored that the Canadian Horse was capable of generating more power per 100 pounds of body weight than any other breed and is often referred to as “The Little Iron Horse”. In the mid-1800’s, there were about 150,000 Canadian Horses and the breed could be found throughout Canada and the United States. The Canadian Horse was used to improve the strength and hardiness of other breeds and as founding stock for several North American breeds. Canadian Horses were exported out of Canada for many purposes and the number of horses began to drop rapidly. When mechanized farm machinery came to the country, the Canadian Horse almost became extinct and during the 1860-1870’s there were fewer than 400 horses left with 20 or less being registered per year. By the late 1870’s the danger to the breed was finally recognized and efforts were made by diligent breeders to try to bring the Canadian Horse back from the dead. Their efforts resulted in the first stud book in 1886 but progress was slow and it was not until 1895 that the Canadian Horse Breeders Association (CHBA) or, Sociйtй des Йleveurs de Chevaux Canadiens, was formed in the province of Quebec. The Canadian Livestock Records Corporation has been the administrators of the breed registry since 1904. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture set up a breeding program at Cap Rouge in 1913 where one of the foundation studs for the recovery effort, Albert De Cap Rouge, was foaled. Other breeding programs were set up in Quebec at St. Joachim and La Gorgendiere. After World War II, the Canadian Horse was on the verge of dying out again the 1950’s with the breed having disappeared from every Canadian province except Quebec, and this time the breed was resurrected by opening the stud books to previously unregistered, but known to be purebred Canadian horses. Despite these efforts, the Canadian Horse once again nearly disappeared during the 1970’s when the numbers dropped to 400 horses again with fewer than 5 registrations per year and by 1979 all horse training programs were dropped since few foals were being produced. In 1981, the administration closed its Canadian Horse breeding program and auctioned off the remaining stock to private breeders. The number of living registered Canadian Horses in existence in 2006 was estimated to be 5746, down from the 6374 that were surveyed in 2005, but if you combine the number of stallions and geldings registered the total comes to considerably less than the number of existing mares. Since males vs. females traditionally have a roughly equal registration ratio, it may mean that a significant number of male horses have never been registered or reported. This could be due to geldings not being registered because of the cost of registering a non-breeding horse, and because gelding-only owners often do not become breed association members so there would be no way to report their horses. It is hoped that the total number of existing Canadian Horses has been under-reported. Some breeders feel that it is a disservice to the breed when horses are not registered because there is no way of accurately tracking the population, nor of being able to track specific individuals to see if which ones are producing exceptional animals that may be particularly suited to one discipline or another. In spite of this, the breed is continuing to gain in numbers and popularity, but the Canadian Horse is still classified as “rare” on the American Livestock Conservancy list which has only recently been upgraded from “critical”. The Canadian Horse stands 14 to 16 hands high, weighs between 1000 and 1400 pounds and black is often seen although chestnut, bay, and dark brown are also available. The overall impression is of power and agility from a well-balanced and proportioned conformation and graceful carriage. The finely chiseled head of the Canadian Horse is rather short and thin with straight lines, carried high and slanting on a medium length arched neck that is fairly arched. Eyes are large, moderately convex, bright, kind, and active. Ears are set well apart and are rather short. Both mane and tail have an abundance of fine wavy hair with tail being large at the root and attached rather high and carried well. Their short cannon bones often exceed 9″ in circumference and the gait of the Canadian Horse has a free and vigorous movement with, hocks, knees, fetlocks, and pasterns bending well in higher harmonious movements. The hooves are exceptionally tough and rarely require little more than routine trimming. The breed has an energetic and spirited temperament without nervousness and is very calm and docile. It has been renowned for their sensible, sociable natures, high intelligence and willingness to please, but they have also been described as having a tendency to be “in your face” and quite “opinionated” to the point of encroaching on your own physical space which can be an issue for someone who feels intimidated by horses. The Canadian Horse is considered to be a general utility horse and from the very beginning, it was valuable not only for plowing, but also as a carriage horse. The breed is long-lived and still useful even at an advanced age. The mares are extraordinarily fertile and able to reproduce regularly until the age of 20 or older.

Horse jumps are designed and set up to test the abilities of both horse and rider. When your magnificent steed approaches his jumps, you want to know that he is going to safely clear it, and that you are going to ride him safely over the jump. Safety is assured (as much as possible) when you buy the jumping equipment from a reliable company. Safety is primary.Safety comes first, price comes second. Price is, of course, an important consideration. When you can buy from a company that guarantees its prices are lower than any other seller s, it is your first choice of where to buy your jumping equipment.Regardless of manufacturer, the crucial details and design are crucial. Whether made of wood or PVC, the design might be the same. Wood is susceptible to rotting but PVC, a man made material is not. It can be left out in the rain. Most purchasers are choosing PVC because it is impervious to rain and can be left outside regardless of the weather.The PVC material itself is more expensive to begin with, but the manufacturing methods are superior to those used with wood. This keeps the price of the finished product lower. Therefore it is preferable.There are many things about this industry that the average person does not know. There are a variety of types of jumps. Cavalletti jumps are used in dressage exhibitions. The horses trained for dressage, also known as dancing, are different than those used for Western trail competitions for example. Those jumps are similar to natural things found on trail rides, such as logs.There are specifications for each type of jump. As a beginner who wants to start with a few simple hurdles, you need to know some facts. You can set up your first jumps. Check each piece of equipment for nails or sharp pieces. A cross rail is a kind of upright fence made with two poles meeting at the center in a cross. This keeps the horse jumping in the center of the jump.A pyramid jump and oxer jump are two other types. Any combination of two or three jumps in a row requires careful measurement of not only the height but the distance between the jumps as measured in strides. An upright fence must be correctly spaces as it is a difficult jump.Jumps require twelve feet between them for a horse and ten feet for a pony. You can also, as an alternative, measure your own horse\’s stride for perfect distancing. A simple tape measure will suffice to measure the distances.It is crucial that you do not place a pole behind a jump. It creates a false ground line. That will make the horse perceive the jump to be further back than it actually is. Of course this will throw off his judgement creating a dangerous situation.Open water jumps must conform to specific size regulations for different courses. The jumps can be purchased individually or in packages to be set up on site in various ways. There are also additional accessories that include extra rails, cups, wings and flower boxes to create an attractive jumping course with. Although appearance is not the primary consideration, it definitely enhances the look at any horse show.Horse jumps allow the spectators to enjoy the grace of horse and rider as they clear them. They may not understand the difficulty of the jumps and how much training of both horse and rider are needed to accomplish clearing them gracefully; the spectators do derive pleasure from all the beauty and that includes how the course is presented.
