Struggling to see your distance?
Try counting to two. 🐴
Here’s a trick that quietly fixes a lot of messy approaches: as you canter toward the jump, count “1, 2” on every stride. The goal is to tell yourself early which stride you’ll take off on — the “1” or the “2.”
Why it works: instead of guessing at the last second and hoping, you’re committing several strides out.
That calm, early decision is what turns a scrambled distance into a clean one. And the more you practice, the earlier you’ll spot it — which means more time to adjust and stay in control.
Simple to try. Harder to master. Worth every rep.
We break this one down fully in the Distances chapter of Clear Round 101. Link in bio. 📖
