In this video, Yogi focuses on coaching at the Training level and discusses the importance of a strong foundation in developing riders and young horses. He explains his methods in both coaching and analyzing riding technique as demo riders Becka Hoos, Angel Martin, Grace Reilly, Katie O'Sullivan, and Emily Coulter rode through a show jumping exercise designed to encourage straightness and a forward ride to a fence. Run time: 26:29. This is the first video in a series that will cover all clinics at the 2013 Ocala Symposium. Keep up with previous posts at www.useventing.com and www.useventing.tv!
