How to get inside leg to outside rein connection... 

I love watching and listening to you teach Amelia. It gives m hope at 72

First let me say how wonderful it is to see riders like yourself actually talking to the public and teaching what they know. I'm an equine locomotion therapist and have years under my belt of teaching practical anatomy to professionals. Among those are top lever riders, vets, farriers, dentists, police officers (mounted of course) and others. I never know if these comments actually get to the person in the videos. I suspect most of the time not. However, one can only try. I am just leaving this note to see if you are perhaps curious to find out why your horse struggles with the exercice you are requiring of him on the right rein. It may be that you are satisfied with the results you achieve and are not curious in the least. That is fine...but on the off chance that you might want to know, I would be happy to explain in a clear and simple way, why the right rein is presenting a few challenges...and I can assure that it is not because horses have a good and a bad side...He's a truly beautiful horse and the two of you make an impressive pair. Good luck in the future.

I've just found you. Albeit by accident and I'm so pleased. These videos are great so far. Love the way you break it down and also point out any evasion which may happen and how to rectify. Thankyou. 😊

I have to say that I like this exercise. It'll be interesting tontry on one of our lesson horses. I do have to add that I am so impressed by your sitting trot. You are so steady in the saddle. I always feel like I'm bouncing a bit and uncomfortable. Something else for me to work on!!

These videos are so helpful!!! I can't even express how grateful i am 💜💚💙

Thanks for recycling, Amelia. Merry Christmas 🎄

Very nice exercise....thanks Amelia. 🎩

Thanks for these videos. They give so much help for those of us who inspire for greatness in ourselves.

I’ve done this exercise. It works really well! Thanks for this and all your videos.

Thank you Amelia.

I love your videos girl!

Thank you for your wonderful videos!

Great video.

i love this so easy to understand thank you

I really want to teach my Horse to engage his hind end and really spring forward from behind. (a springy trot) is what I'm going for. Any tips? Thank you! And love your videos!☺️

Love these educational style videos from you! :)

Thank you

You are so cool great vid

Good good video

When I do this, my horse loses impulsion. What am I doing wrong?

Amelia, you're such an elegant rider. I watch your videos and am subscribed to your channel. I have a question about wiggly feet. It seems dressage riders let their feet wiggle alot in the trot gait. Can you explain why? It seems a steadier foot would be less confusing for the horse.

Thank you !

I was interested to see that when you pushed him over with your inside leg, it was bump-bump-bump. Perhaps this is more effective than steady pressure? Or was this something to do with riding with spurs?

When you give up the inside rein to check for an honest connect, the horse's correct response is to remain properly bent ??

Is this only for dressage or would a western rider use this?

Grest video.

Do you continue to push with the inside leg pretty much all the time or should the horse automatically do it for the rest of the riding session

Hi! I would have liked to see this with an ordinary bridle. For me it seems a bit harder when you ride with an ordinary bridle, maybe I'm wrong. Otherwise I enjoy your videos!

Hi Amelia, where abouts on his body were you using the crop, on his shoulder or behind your leg? Wouldn't white crops or dressage whips be great!

unfortunately I cant put your videos into practise at the moment really, because I am only working with riding school horses. One is a total dobbin (slows down if you use your leg or the crop haha) and the other is a 6 year old who is very mareish and tries very hard- but just doesn't have the topline or quarters to do what I ask her to. She tries though bless her

Amelia, I have the same problem with my mare, but all the leg yielding in the world wasn’t getting her on the outside rein. Low in behold it’s been a leaning on the right shoulder. As soon as I tap her on the shoulder with my whip she gets off and takes the outside rein. Have you had similar experiences?

nice
