It can be a good idea to note whether the first jump on your show jumping course is a vertical or an oxer, and plan to finish your warm up on that shape of jump. For example, if the first jump on course is an oxer, you will want your horse to finish his warm up thinking forward to the base and stretching across an oxer. And if the first jump on course is a vertical, it can be a good idea to finish your warm up with a good sized vertical to get your horse thinking about rocking back and being careful.
