As riders, once we get past the basics, we start to hearing over and over again “inside leg, outside rein.”!! The idea is that eventually, as you train dressage, the inside rein will become less of a crutch and the horse will learn to manoeuvre from the inside leg and outside rein aids.
But if this concept is new to you, do you think you can turn without the inside rein, and do you know why we should be doing it this way? (Confession: When i learnt, I couldn't do it, and i didn't understand why i needed to!)
To help you us grasp this kinda tricky concept, this week's archive video goes into the details to show you exactly why the inside rein is almost the LAST aid you need to use to turn in that direction!
One of the main objectives of Dressage is to get the horse to be more uphill. Naturally horses carry the majority of their weight on the forehand but in dressage we want them to transfer the weight to the hind end for the advanced movements such as the pirouettes and piaffe!
Using the diagonal of inside leg and outside rein helps to get the horse uphill. When the rider applies the inside leg, they drive the energy of the horses’ inside hind leg up and into the outside rein. Engaging the inside hind leg from the rider's inside leg and containing the energy in the outside rein will get the horse more uphill.
Pulling on the inside rein has the opposite effect. The inside rein will cause the horse to over bend in the neck, fall out with the outside shoulder and lose the alignment through the body. Turning or attempting to execute any movement only from the inside rein will make the horse downhill instead of uphill.
Instinctively, we all want to pull on the inside rein to turn, however we must train ourselves (and our horses) to turn from the outside rein and leg. While the inside rein indicates flexion, the outside rein and leg execute the turn!
Watch this video where I demonstrate the right and wrong way to turn, and see the difference in Mercurio both ways!
Thanks for watching and happy riding!

Amelia, Super helpful. It gives me a better idea why a one rein stop doesn’t work all the time. Some horses just bend their neck and fall out the shoulder. I promise to give my inside rein when I’m turning and check on my outside aids. Love, Mom
This is really sweet! And thanks for all the videos Amelia. New rider over here so this keeps me tuned in when not at the stables.
Awwwww❤❤❤
My new teacher has started me doing this. I never heard of anything like this so I started looking online and there you are teaching it exactly! I’ve followed you for several years and somehow missed this.
I’m started back with my riding slowly after a knee replacement, so it’s a perfect time to work on a lot of “beginner” things again. I’ve been learning groundwork, better communication skills, and refining basics.
I’m 77 and have been riding for about 4 years, through 2 knee replacements, and am so grateful for all the time I get to spend with horses!
Thank you for all your videos and teaching!11
Thank you for sharing your story! So happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos and connecting with your horse.
Thank you for explaining the "why"
Your training videos are fabulous for helping those of us living in areas where dressage trainers are impossible to locate. I live in an area where everyone does their own thing with lots of trail riding. I am very grateful for your willingness to produce these excellent tutorial videos. Thank you.
Hi Constance, I totally agree. These videos are so helpful for those of us in the country.
So glad to hear they are helpful!!
Haha where do you live so I can move there?
Excellent video Amelia! By showing the aids (do's AND dont's) you are teaching me HOW to ride. Thank you!!!
Practicing tomorrow
Thank you for this incredibly clear explanation and demonstration. At last I understand!! Amazing! Have just put it into practice for the first time and my horse got it immediately with no need for the inside rein. Thank you
That has made the art of turning so clear - thank you
You are very welcome
I am having ridinglessons for onr and a half year now now i understand the logic of turning a horse for the first time thank you Toon
Wow! This is so helpful! You ride so many wonderful horses! Thank you!
Excellent demonstration, Amelia. Thank you.
That was so helpful, can't wait to out it into practise
Love your demo and explanation.
Thanks for the as always great tips and videos! Its great to have reminders when i ride! Especially when im getting to know my new horse! Thank you!
This was so super helpful. Thank you!
Thank you Amelia. You explain this so much better than I was taught.
I’m grateful for my good horse and the time to ride every day.
Tanks finally I understand.
No one has ever explained to me about using my outside THIGH to turn my horse. Love it!
Wow, that was such an awesome explanation and demonstration. Thank you!!!
Working on this right now. Very helpful! ❤️
fabulous information, makes so much sense!! thanks for such great videos
I love the slow mo! Its clearer and easier to pick out whats going on!
This is so helpful..:my instructor was trying to teach me this last week. I really understand now!! x
Very helpful Amelia - enjoy your tutorial videos very much 😊
Thank you Amelia! I’ll be practicing this!!👍🏻👍🏻💕💕
Amelia and my horse are what I'm grateful for. Love your clear explanations on your video's. Another one for my dressage library, thankyou so much, Amelia.
Clear, succinct, & super helpful.....thank you so much!!!!!
Many times when I have impressed my teacher it has been when she caught me doing something I picked up from your videos. You're so on point with your teachings, both picking the topics and how you go about explaining stuff.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing, that made my day.
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage You're more than welcome. It's a bit funny though. I'm from Sweden and picked up neck reining at a ranch near Perris CA, now in Sweden I have to train to transition to "English" riding, dressage, show jumping and so on. In doing so I end up watching your videos from CA.. Small planet. ^.^
Really appreciate the slow motion clips - VERY helpful. So few do this. Really helps us "see" the example you are talking about. Thank you!
Great directions and video for us riders that are less experienced. Fabulous!
Very helpful and very clear too, thanks dear Amelia. 🎩
Thanks Amelia, now I know what I was doing wrong with the square turn exercises. Going to work on this today.
I Love all of your video's Amilia thank you, I always watch something before I ride then I go and work on it Thank you, you are an amazing teacher
You are very clear about your subject. Thanks
Thank you! I really enjoy your videos they are ver educational for those of us who are beginning our journey💝
Big help! Thank you!
I will try this, even if my trainer is refusing as they insisted on just pulling the rein
This is my nemesis. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I just started learning this a couple of weeks ago in my lessons and I had no idea what I was trying to do. Now I think I get it. Can't wait to try it. Really appreciate your expertise.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much ☺️
Amelia is a good teacher.
Thank you that was so well explained and demonstrated, super helpful.
Thank you for reminding me of the basics!!! Recently returned to riding and I'm grateful for every horse that I have ridden from OTT TB's (Off the track thoroughbreds) to lively little ponies since they have taught me more than people. Horses will respond immediately with no filters :) and give you all of their heart if you treat them well and keep them healthy.
Another video with a key piece of info. I had to teach myself to apply the outside thigh in addition to the "leg" to corral a wandering outside shoulder. I wish my instructors would have provided the insight you just did. Thanks again. 👍
That horse is a absolute beauty
thank you for the clear explanation of aids instead of a lead in to a sale!
You're welcome Tania! I have lots and lots of free content for you guys to work with, I'm trying very much to democratise dressage for the masses. Obviously some content that has a lot of work put into needs to be paid for but there is a lot of resources that will never be behind a paywall. Happy riding.

always wanted to know how to do this - well explained - i get it now
Thank you! Great explanation!
Thank you Amelia, this really helps
Awesome video thank you
What a magnificent horse.
Wow this is very important for new riders and young riders i really like this video it helped me a lot and my dreaasge
So helpful!! Thank you!
Thank you for be à so good teacher 💕
Always helpful
Awesome video. Super clear . I am over bending my horses neck in the shoulder-in . It's only when I use the outside or forward rein do I get a real shoulder-in. I like riding the squares , it makes it really clear when I am getting Mirage in the outside rein. So simple and so hard !! Thanks
Great information and cueing! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is just what I was working on yesterday! You are always able to fill in the blanks for me! Thank you! And my horse thanks you too!!!
Wonderful! That makes me so happy to hear.
Im super grateful for my horse ❤ great video, I will try it out tomorrow! I have a stubborn cob so we will see how it goes🙈😂
Phenomenal video!
Grateful for the clarity; thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou Amelia!
very helpful thank you so much
I use my inside rein enough to make a suggestion to turn if I want her to make a circle with all 4 corners moving equally. I am grateful for my mentor who helped me help my horse Penny in my profile picture be ok. I'm grateful for my other horses Belle and Bobbi who are special in their own way. I'm grateful for these nice videos. Thank you.
Best explanation I have found! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
It’s always a pleasure to watch your channel Amelia. You are such a kind rider. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You give clear instruction and commentary which is very beneficial to everyone.
Thank you!!
Thanks for always breaking it down for your peeps
always!
Was trying to teach my husband this today. Because of his trying to turn with the inside rein now the horse braces against it.
So I told him take it away, don even use it. Thank you for your explanation, brilliant!
Very helpful... Your videos are so understandable. :)
Very helpful! Thank you!😊👍👍
Very helpful video. This has been a hard concept for me to understand but I can see myself slowly getting it. I was relying on the inside rein for turning, horse's shoulder would pop out and then she would get too close to the wall and I'd start to lose confidence.
A big breakthrough for me was when I realized I'm supposed to use my leg aids from the thigh down and not from the heel up. Sounds stupid but it was like a lightbulb over my head. Also the concept of "playing" with the inside rein to keep the horse's attention to the inside while not using it to turn has been hard for my brain to comprehend, but we are making progress.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I love hearing these success stories, that moment when you have a breakthrough like that with your horse and your understanding of how to communicate with them is so heartening! Well done and keep it up!

Thanks so much for being on my page! I appreciate it so much! 😀
Super helpful!
You make it look so easy.
Thank you before.. very cool video you show us..
Brilliant thank you x
Great video! This is the best one I've seen on this topic so far. One thing that would be really helpful is to have closeup shots of how exactly you use your outside hand and thigh.
Great suggestion!
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage Even better: explain it with words. Because I don't know about other people, but I find it really hard to SEE anything while watching a horseback riding video. It's all far too subtle... But if you say "I close my hand" - or "I pull my outside rein straight back" or anything like that, I get it...
Would be great to have reference to that here or text addition to video. Been watching shoulder in and rounding and this concept feels counter to those aids and horse responses. To break it down horse “getting away from tightness applied at outside girth and rein lev last by turning easily where inside rein relaxed, is that the aid idea for this turn?
Looking forward to putting that into practice - explains why our turns are so hit and miss!
I finally got the hang of this today....felt fantastic to release the inside rein an still stay on a circle! 🐎👍❤️ love all of your videos, they reinforce everything my trainer teaches me, keep it up!
I'm so glad to hear it! Here's a link to a bunch of content, all in one place!

Very clear explaination 😄 you have so many subscribers now ! Bravo 👍
This is very helpful to me. I sort of knew this but ur precise instructions make it
So I have specific points in mind! Thank u!
Super useful.
I'm using dr Cook bitless bridle. Sometimes I have an impression that my horse cant work properly on this bridle...
Thank you!
Very helpful
Helpful. Thanks
Brilliant explaination and demonstration. My riding instructor has taught me this. But i did not fully understand how this works. But now i do. Thank you so much Amelia. Its a joy to watch you ride. And you explain things so well... you have really helped my riding. Xxxx
I'm addicted to you (not in a creepy way in a you're a dressage trainer sharer of valuable information goddess wa) y And it's as if we're wired cu that's exactly what I was trying to work on today! Thank you so much I can't wait to try the outsider leg and rein to turn without over- using the inside rein.
Excellent !!
Glad you like it!
Very helpful to see how position effects the horse. Love your videos. Could you do one on canter trot transition (1st level) and canter walk transitions (2nd level). Thanks
thank you. that is really clear
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
Yes, helpful.
Well...that explains everything! Now, maybe I will be able to turn. :) I thought I was cheating using the outside rein and leg and would soon get a ticket from the dressage police. As always, great tips!
I'm grateful for being able to understand dressage finally.
Fab video 💚🍀💚
