Instructor Certification Program | Mary D'Arcy | PART 04

The instructor focuses on flatwork for jumping, and specifically the leg aides. Using a mounted rider, she demonstrates the different leg aides that can be applied, and when they might be appropriate. The instructor explains the use of spurs, and how they don't help if the horse is behind the leg, as they tend to just create irritation. Working on balance and tempo, the rider concentrates on getting the horse in front of the leg.
