This week, Jason and Hamish show how they introduce young horses to ditches as a natural part of a hack round the farm.

Every day of the horses' training, we revisit ground and ridden foundations, before adding another layer to the horse's education.

Learning to confidently negotiate obstacles under saddle starts from leading and lunging groundwork, to stepping over logs and poles on the ground and when ridden, before tackling things likewater and ditches; all the while staying calm, consistent and decisive in their method.
