Step 2: Train your Horse to Stretch into the Contact

When you pick up the contact does your horse come behind the vertical? Raise its head? Lean on the reins? Hollow out its back? This video is for you! I’ll show you how to help your horse start to seek the contact, lift their back, and stretch into the bit.

I have a random question for you. What material is your arena fence made out of? It appears to be made out of a flexible material but I can't tell for sure. I am trying to make an outdoor arena on a lower budget and am trying to explore my options. By the way, I stumbled on your channel tonight and am loving your videos! Your demeanor is so calm and kind while you are clear about how to execute each practice. I look forward to learning more from your channel!

So glad to have you here Chelsey! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos.
The fencing is Ramm Flex Fence. It’s really great stuff.
