My dressage arena was flooded this morning but I adapted the concept in the space I had and rode it several times. We both got very relaxed and focused, even when an escaped pony came running by, which would normally completely distract my horse. I was also thinking about your 'Promise to my horse' and was just thinking, 'we're busy with this now and we're safe, so we're going to just ignore him'
What a brilliant exercise! Shall try to remember this for when I have my next horse. Confined to barracks at present but your videos help keep me sane 😊
What would happen if you only used spurred leg aid when you require a change of speed or direction? Do you think there might something wrong with how modern dressagists use leg aid? Have a good day - bim bim bum bim bim bim ..... Bim!

You are right that the spur should only be used as an auxiliary aid and done with care!
