the reason towards this training session is so that the horse learns to use his hint leg muscles and to push up wards with his legs instead of forwards, which is something that race horses do.
By doing that, the benefit for the horse is that he gets to build up more muscles in his body and have better stability when cantering.
In the video you can see that the horse is very forwards and not using his hint legs enough to push himself up and over the jumps, he also doesn't know the distance required to jump over the pole.
This horse is physically tall and long, which I call "lengthy". This means that the horse is more bouncy while cantering and trotting, and this is a downfall for the rider. In my opinion this actually trains the rider to become better and build up more muscles in the legs as you need more strength to control the bounce of the horse.
In this video you can see that my body is accepting the horse's movements, however not properly done, as the horse is not properly accepting my hand movements on the reins. However, the horse is still remaining his calm motions and emotions, which is good.
