Distances are where your horse takes of before the jump. The bigger the jump the farther back the horse takes off. If it is a long distances the rider might fall behind in his/her two point(jumping posiotion) or the horse might knock down the pole. A short distance, or chip, might cause the horse to either refuse the jump or knock it down. A chip is also very uncomfortable from a riders point of view. A good course has perfect distances.
