"My top tip for anyone eventing is to get their seat – and particularly their lower leg – as secure as possible. For cross country this means your lower leg should be secure on your horse’s side, with your heels down. If anything, your legs should be slightly forward. It’s virtually impossible to fall off if you keep your lower leg anchored in this way, but if they do slip back your position will be vulnerable over the fence."
