Keeping the Contact - Day 1 | Daniel Dockx | PART 04

Daniel Dockx works with this horse and rider pair over the course of two days. During the warm-up on the first day, this horse evades the contact and slows. To correct this, Daniel asks the rider for bigger steps to keep the horse through his back and on the contact. As the horse steps bigger, the rider is asked to soften her hands without letting the reins get long. Daniel asks for an extended trot to get the steps bigger and then a working trot without stopping him from behind.
