Spanish term

doble fondo-vertical a un tranco

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Equestrianism (show jumping)
Hello. This is from a local newspaper article on a show jumping competition. I am pretty sure "a un tranco" is something like "in one stride", and I have seen "vertical" as a fence type, but I'm stuck on "doble fondo".

"Se comenzó con la prueba de 0.60m de altura máxima y 8 obstáculos y se fue subiendo hasta 1.30m, con doce esfuerzos y una combinación (doble fondo-vertical a un tranco) desde la prueba de 1.10m."

Thanks for your help
Simon

el caballo necesita acercarse lo máximo posible al salto para pasarlo de forma ... Dobles: en donde hay uno o dos trancos entre dos saltos verticales o fondos.

"tranco" could = "tronco"
