1 For the first several months of your horse's jumping training, keep the jumps so small that he can go over them from a standstill. 2  If your horse questions a jump, never let him turn away and reapproach the fence. 3  If you allow this, you're teaching your horse how to say no.
(May 2012) True north (geodetic north) is the direction along the earth's surface towards the geographic North Pole. True geodetic north differs from magnetic north (the direction a compass points toward the magnetic north pole), and from grid north (the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection).
Absolute bearing refers to the angle between the magnetic North (magnetic bearing) or true North (true bearing) and an object. For example, an object to the East would have an absolute bearing of 90 degrees. Relative bearing refers to the angle between the craft's forward direction, and the location of another object. For example, an object relative bearing of 0 degrees would be dead ahead; an object relative bearing 180 degrees would be behind. Bearings can be measured in mils or degrees.
