2m 34s
Clayton Fredericks introduces horses to skinnies and corners in a show-jumping lesson, using it to prepare for schooling these elements cross country. In Part 1, he focuses on skinny—narrow—fences. He emphasizes that the horses need to be on their line and have the right canter for the fence size and that the riders need to be aware of when the horse will take off rather than trying to create the perfect stride.
Fredericks helped Australia win an Olympic eventing team silver medal in 2008 and was also a member of the 2012 Olympic eventing team. He also won team bronze and individual silver medals at the 2006 World Equestrian Games, and he won the 2007 Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*. He served as the international technical advisor for the Canadian Eventing Team from 2012-2016.
