Olympic Gold medalist Boyd Martin gives a lesson to three riders, focusing on improving the jumping technique of their horses. Boyd uses a line of gymnastics to create a challenge for both the horses and the rides. With a line of fences set up, he coaches the riders to first jump them as a bounce, and then shorten the horses up to be able to jump them as a one stride.
