Irish show jumper Shane Breen works his impressive homebred and home-produced 6 year old Cos I Can, at his Hickstead yard. Without the use of any gadgets, he explains how he balances and engages the stallion on the flat. Shane progresses to poles which he uses to adjust the number of canter strides; he explains that if he can apply this to jump-offs, he can be quick without going fast. Shane then transfers the exercise to a course where he works on the same distances and various lines. His course is modelled on the last Grand Prix he jumped. Shane's clear explanations and attention to detail give an insight the mind of a top show jumper.
