Tip/Quote of the Day # 3339
Never "go for the long one" at any jump into water that involves height. If you do, one of 2 things are likely to happen:
1. The horse will (quite rightly) ignore you and add a stride.
2. The horse will listen to you and take off early, but will probably hit his stifles hard on the fence on the way down.
