Video: Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master Bromont Jump School

I had the opportunity to watch a few of the Canadian jump schools on Wednesday morning.  Although that session was marred by Jessica Phoenix and Exponential’s fall, Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master put on an excellent educational session with coach David O’Connor.  After the lesson David told me that his main focus with “Rupert” today was keeping him coming forward to the jumps rather than getting behind Rebecca’s leg and adding strides.  As with any Wednesday jump session, David kept the number of jumps to a minimum.  Also, as a quick high performance note, as of today, the Canadian Team plans to run all of its hopefuls across the cross-country as a final run before Olympic selection next week.
