Training Level Forward and Supple | Laura Graves | PART 02

13m 8s

Laura stresses that the rider needs to understand the tempo that she wants, and then the horse needs to maintain it. With the horse keeping a steady trot tempo, they move onto the circle so they can ask for bend. However, even though the rider asks for bend with the inside rein, the outside rein needs to keep a consistent contact, so the horse doesn't turn or fall into the circle.
