Summary

Pathe synopsis: Many potential stars in the popular sport of show jumping receive their early training on the course laid out at the Royal Forest Stud at Windsor. After seeing a number of these promising youngsters being coached over low hurdles, the camera takes up to Swindon to see Pat Smythe riding Flanagan at the Bath and West Show. Shots in slow motion reveal as nothing else can the championship-winning style of both horse and rider.
