1 For the first several months of your horse's jumping training, keep the jumps so small that he can go over them from a standstill. 2  If your horse questions a jump, never let him turn away and reapproach the fence. 3  If you allow this, you're teaching your horse how to say no.
(May 2012) True north (geodetic north) is the direction along the earth's surface towards the geographic North Pole. True geodetic north differs from magnetic north (the direction a compass points toward the magnetic north pole), and from grid north (the direction northwards along the grid lines of a map projection).
There are few things more elegant, or more useful, than a real touring bike. If you measure your rides in weeks and months instead of hours, True North has a frame for you. Touring is a style of cycling that is almost completely ignored by larger manufacturers, but True North makes custom touring bikes to handle anything from light duty tours to around-the-world expeditions. A few of our customers have reached the 100,000 km mark on their True North touring bikes.
