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).
This is the angle between true north and magnetic north. The declination angle varies by location and is usually provided by a recent map of your area. For example, a declination angle of 5 degrees means that magnetic north is 5 degrees clockwise from true north. Set your compass needle to point to true north.
