You can develop your feel for an adjustable canter and your eye for a distance over tiny jumps, rails on the ground, leaves, hoofprints---heck, you could snake a garden hose around your ring, and jump that. I boggles my (alleged) mind that I have explained/demonstrated/cajoled/begged so many riders over so many years to go home and practice this, and so few have done so. The ones who have, like Sue, Daryl, Lila, and a few others, are starting to be the kind that I expect to see nail the distance, rather than take what they get. But they work on it constantly---which (DUH) is what it takes.
