What happens when Grand Prix dressage rider Charlie Hutton and veritable eventing legend Lucinda Green swap disciplines? Rather a lot of infuriating brilliance, you’ll be unsurprised to find. But we’re huge fans of some of the key takeaways of today’s video, which features each rider helping the other get to grips with a slightly alien discipline – there’s plenty that even the most hardened of us can learn from watching (although we recommend pouring yourself a glass of wine first, to numb the pain of seeing Hutton’s absolutely faultless form over a line of fences.)

Have you tried a temporary discipline swap? Did it lead to a revelation for your riding? Let us know in the comments!
