Safe cross country riding

Riding across country is a very different technique and one that needs to be practiced before attempting your first event. Different skills are needed to that of show jumping or practicing cross country type fences in the arena or field at home, even though that is a great way to start.

As a commitment to its members and the sport of Eventing, BE have created a cross country riding DVD as part of its Safety Manifesto to visually show how -- and how not to, ride across country.

British Eventing's Performance Manager, Yogi Breisner, and a member of BE's Safety Committee, choreographed the training DVD which was shot at Aston-Le-Walls Eventing Centre.
