Tip/Quote of the Day # 490
You need to pay extra attention to the balance of your horse's canter/gallop on the approach when jumping cross country jumps at an angle (even a slight angle.) As if the horse's balance is not good, they are more likely to be slow with their front end on takeoff - which means an increased risk of a fall, since horses need to be extra quick with the front leg that is nearest the jump when jumping at an angle.
