Awesome video! I love your off-horse exercises, they are fantastic! And I do a lot of “dry practice” when it comes to working with dogs (as I’m a dog trainer) and recommend it to my clients as well. And today I just did this exercise when I actually did leg yields with my dogs, how funny 😅 but thank you again! Really great as it helps both brain and body to get and work in sync before practicing on the horse 🐴
Thank you🙏 exactly, off the horse exercises help so much to find the correct movement patterns! Would have loved have seen the leg yields with the dogs😃

These outdoor videos are great. The microphone picks up your voice wonderfully. Such a nice, shoothing and clear voice❤ What I like to do is to keep my legs on with a maintaining kind of pressure, especially when I am doing fences or cavlettis. Not too much, not too little. When I need to get the horse to move/drift/turn, right or left I will just remove my foot from the iron ever so slightly so there is less pressure on that side ( as if I'm taking my foot off the accelerator of a car). This usually works for most cases unless the horse has a shoulder falling in, then I would use the other leg for support and to counterbalance

Excellent point! I often find myself squishing my torso on the opposite side to the direction of travel so I must really confuse the horse
Yes, that happens so easily!
