That was really helpful. I watch and learn from you on a regular basis. Thank you for providing this. I have improved much faster because of your instruction and applying it in my lessons.
Thank you Amelia 😊 your horse is about where mine is right now....we need to work on simple changes too. I just rode our first elementary on the weekend, and similar to this test, but wiht traver instead of shoulderin. 😊👌. I like the advice about halting past x in training
Can you do a video of your hands and the way you position them for the different transitions? Your videos are always helpful! Thank you for sharing them.
Hi Amelia, do you have any advice on the best way to teach a green horse how to canter? My 4yo has no problem getting the left lead, but can't seem to get the right lead. He also tries to anticipate that I am going to ask him to canter and he tries to rush on after I bring him back to trot while practicing trot to canter transitions. Best suggestion for correcting this without upsetting him?
JM 824 I have a green mare and she had the same problems. For teaching the transitions if the horse isn’t worried about a whip carry a whip and ask with the leg and then reinforce with a little tap on the bum:) after you bring them back to trot half right away and then continue on in trot, if they tend to rush do a lot of downward transitions and circles
