Four star eventer Alex Peternell takes his favourite horse for pre-season cross country schooling. Uprising is a 9 year old advanced eventer who knows his job, so Alex focuses on just a few technical questions to minimise wear and tear. After warming up, he starts with a bank complex to a skinny. Alex offers a clear explanation of the best way to ride this, stressing the importance of rhythm and line. He then adds a coffin and provides feedback on his riding of the whole sequence. Moving on to the water fence, Alex chooses the bounce in followed by a jump in the water. The key to the bounce he says is, "to think forwards without travelling forwards".
