Thoughtful Riding, Flatwork & Grids | Allison Springer | PART 01

Part 1: Allison goes back to basics. She encourages on rider to allow her horse to itch, and explains how training the horse's brain and offering them release is just as important as training jumps. While the riders work on standing still and encouraging relaxation they focus on only using their aids to correct the horse if they move. Allison explains how many riders can benefit from some ground work to gain the horse's respect before they into the saddle.
