There was some video floating around in the Internet of a many jumping over swords in the ground(handle side up). At the end of it, he jumps over a single sword. Amazing. That should be your goal. Always.
My trainer has some of her students jump just half the roll top, half the coop, half the wall or a single barrel on its side. She normally uses 10 foot rails and the fill underneath is in two pieces for easy moving. We make the roll top and the coops as two 4 foot sections so they fit between the standards comfortably. DH and I make most of the jumps for my trainer.
One of the great things about our sport is the continual innovation in course design. Every year, designers trot out new jumps made of unusual materials, in different shapes (liverpools, walls, gates, rolltops, and so on) and bright colors, and with such potentially distracting decorations as flowers and bushes. These innovations not only make a course more attractive; they mix things up. By offering an ongoing series of challenges (to a horse, anything new, strange, or odd-looking can be spooky or scary), they keep adding layers of difficulty to competition.
Fortunately, in general, those situations turn up only in the bigger jumper or equitation classes. In the lower classes, a skinny still tends to be used in a very inviting way, so you and your horse have a chance to start getting familiar with its appearance and with what it takes to jump it, almost like a liverpool.
Step 2. Take away one flowerbox or little wall and center the remaining one on the track. Add flowerbox wings on either side, slightly angled, so your horse has a bit of a chute to guide him to the skinny and keep him from running past.
Your legs and hands have to stand in for the missing jump standards, giving your horse nowhere to go but over that narrow obstacle. Maintain a solid and secure supporting leg on both sides of him; keep a good connection, with a nice straight line from your elbow to the bit, and your hands a little wider than usual: about as far apart as the width of your bit (in most cases, about 5 inches). Now guide and close him in with your arms and hands.
Narrow or skinny jumps have been increasingly showing up on cross country courses over the past 15 years or so. They started out only as an upper level test, and are now sneaking into the lower levels as well. They are a great test of whether the rider has the horse balanced, straight, and between their leg and hand. Course designers put skinny jumps on their courses to more safely test those qualities, as if the horse is not balanced, straight, or on the rider's aids, a runout is likely, but usually no one gets hurt.
As one moves up the levels in the sport of Eventing, the flatwork gets more and more exacting. At lower levels the horse's balance point is more forward, but at upper levels the horse should be in collection. Which means that the horse should be so balanced that they could literally canter on a balance beam. That is why the skinny jumps get narrower and narrower as you move up the levels. The upper level horse is expected to be accurate enough to gallop and jump on a balance beam.

UCLA
The skinny. UCLA is the old-fashioned elder statesman of the bunch, preferring to beat teams with defense first rather than a high-octane offense. The Bruins have been at their best of late, winning 14 consecutive games and 19 of their last 20. During the tournament, UCLA opponents are averaging just 53.5 points and shooting only 32.8 percent from the field (including 23.9 percent from the 3-point line). Offensively, star freshman Kevin Love is arguably the best low-post player in the Final Four. He gives the Bruins an offensive edge and potency they did not have in trips to the Final Four the previous two seasons. This team can play slow or fast. But when at its best, UCLA is a physical unit that rebounds well, buckles down and gets stops.
