Training Level, Keep the Contact | Dr Ulf Moller | PART 01

The rider introduces herself and her 4-year-old and as they warm up Dr. Moller has them start on their easier side while asking for the horse to go to the inside leg to outside rein. When he canters instead of trotting, they return to the trot and then circle while working on contact on both reins. Dr. Moller has the rider ask more of her mount and let him know when his response is not what she wants. He works on the position of her elbows and shoulders, reminds her to use her legs first in the trot-halt transitions. He has them walk two steps forward and halt and then trot, checking on the responsiveness.
