How to Teach Your Horse To Jump

Step 1:
Jump the fence perfectly multiple times before your video crew arrives at the ring.
The slightly skinny jump in question.
Step 2:
The moment the camera starts rolling, completely forget how to ride and teach your horse how to run out.
Uh. Oops.
Step 3:
Proceed to perfect the run out, despite attempting the opposite.
.... sigh.
Step 4:
Reinstall ability to go over the center of the jump.
Good boy.
Step 5:
Jump the jump correctly.
So proud.
