9m 35s
Kim Barone talks viewers through what the next steps of a young horse's training over fences would be, considering that the young and green horse has been properly encouraged from the rider to increase confidence. Through using a line of two jumps, Kim demonstrates trotting into the line and trotting out of the line at first. Once Kim feels that the young horse is ready, she then repeats the line at the canter. Within the line Kim controls the strides with balance and correct use of aids. On the landing of the line, Kim also walks riders through the utilization of the downward transition to encourage softness and balance.
