There's a lot more to designing a Grand Prix course than making the jumps bigger. From narrower fences and subtle color choices to strategic turns and thoughtful placement, every detail is carefully considered to challenge horse and rider without asking for unnecessary physical effort. As FEI Level 4 Course Designer Guilherme Jorge explains, great course design is about testing precision, accuracy, and partnership while always keeping the horse at the center of the equation. #theplaidhorse #showjumping #grandprix #coursedesign #fei #horsemanship #horseandrider #hunterjumper #jumping #horsecommunity #horsesofinstagram #equestrian #horsefirst #wellingtoninternational #theplaidcast #ourindustry #equestrianeducation #coursewalk #equitation #ridereducation
