Welcome to the PHOD Pod! The Practical Horseman Podcast’s minisode series where we share audio lessons from our favorite Practical Horseman OnDemand videos. At Practical Horseman OnDemand, you can enjoy hundreds of how-to videos and get insider access to to exclusive interviews and lectures, slow motion demonstrations and step by step tutorials taught by top level pros in the hunter, jumper, equitation and eventing disciplines.

On this week’s episode, John Michael Durr answers common questions about why cross country fences appear to be different heights and how the same jump can be used in different divisions. He explains how course designers measure cross country jumps and shows how placement of the jump on the ground (uphill vs. downhill) can change the height of the jump.
