I know this sounds silly but sometimes if you don't remember the course get a friend to shout out it hope this may work x 

It’s always a problem – especially when the competition is of the type where you go straight into the jumpoff so you’ve got a course of twelve or more fences to remember.

Naturally, you’ve got to remember the whole course but when you’re walking it, I’d look for any turns where you could make a mistake. Usually, most of a course is obvious and you are forced to go a particular way but inevitably there are one or two points where you can see you could go wrong. Concentrate on remembering the first two or three fences along with these decision points and you’ll be fine.

My biggest nightmare is actually remembering a jumpoff course where you’ve already jumped it one way but the jumpoff is in a completely different order. In this case, you can’t even look at the numbers to help you. Add to that jumping against the clock and there’s plenty of scope for getting it wrong. In this case, I’ll walk the first round course then spend as much time again walking the jumpoff course. Okay, so it’s a bit of a presumption that you’ll get into the jumpoff but better that than not being prepared. At least you’re being positive.
