    My best equitation round has to be a round I had in my competition season last year. It was my last show of the year and I was struggling to learn my course for my medals class. It took me at least 10 minutes to learn it flawlessly, but once I did, my horse and I flew across the course. Unfortunately, I was in a big eq class and there were riders with much more experience and expensive horses, but luckily, we placed 2nd out of 8 people, and I felt that this was one of my greatest shows.

    I did jumpers with my QH and we just switched to hunters and got a 78 on our first derby round! We won the low adult class and got tenth in the derby! (I messed up and had a refusal but still so happy!!) Could I send video for you to see what could be done different?

    I am going to be Jumping this year in EQ so this is very helpful! Equitation is my strongest skill but my horse is pretty slow. Will the four stride in a line get you more points then a five stride? I just don’t know if she will be able to do the four, but she can do the add stride.❤️🐴

      Congratulations on showing this summer.
      Great question! 4 stride vs 5 stride. 🐴
      Well... ... ... the short answer is if it is a 4 stride line then you should do the 4 strides.
      depending on the type of show and class you are in then there may be some leeway. If you are at a championship level competition, with many seasoned competitors * adding a stride in a 4 stride line will cost you a placing.*
      *_HOWEVER,_* if you are at a local, regional or training show in a green, novice or first year class, adding a stride may be the correct thing to do. *_The important thing is to ride your horse forward, get to your jumps safely and correctly and be consistent throughout the round_* .
      Make sure as well, that you know and understand the distances between the jumps.
