Simon Gives Me A Jumping Lesson On Bear

It’s been far too long since Bear and I had a jumping lesson, so who better for it than the only and only Simey! I unloaded all of the issues Bear and I have ever had together, and slowly we worked through them in true, calm, Simon style.

As for Bear, she brought her usual sass and a few opinions to the table, but with Simon's guidance, we stripped everything back to basics. This lesson wasn’t about big fences or flashy moves—it was about control, confidence, and getting Bear to work with me rather than against me.

If you’ve got a sharp or spooky horse, or you’re just looking for tips to refine your jumping basics, this is a must-watch. Simon’s advice was gold (as always), and Bear kept things interesting!
