- Cross country fences are supposed to be SOLID. I don't know about the
- pro's and con's of teaching a horse to jump solid things when they can
- be knocked down but two things pop to mind immediately:
-
- 1) It's VERY DANGEROUS to have fences coming apart when a horse is
- travelling at a good clip
-
- 2) Knocking the thing down a few times didn't seem to teach her horse
- anything so her answer to you that the fence was solid was kind of
- foolish.
-
- sounds like she needs a trainer.
-
- just my 2
