Accepting the Driving Leg | Christoph Hess | PART 01

Mr. Hess starts this session off with a great statement- You have to listen with your hands into the horses mouth.  They start out with a pleasant trot, but he asks that the rider make the steps bigger with a driving leg.  They add a shoulder in and a 10 meter circle in each corner.  He asks her to produce the trot with energy and without leaning on the bit. They work on the mare being more responsive to her right leg. They then show some great forward trot canter trot transitions before moving on to transitions within the gait.
