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).
A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of true north, that is, using the direction toward the geographic north pole as a reference point, while a magnetic bearing is measured in relation to magnetic north, that is, using the direction toward the magnetic north pole as a reference. An informal method of measuring a relative bearing is by using the 'clock method'. 2  In this method, the direction a vessel, aircraft or object is measured as if a clock face is laid over the vessel or aircraft, with the number twelve pointing forward.
