- If you are trying to help your horse with balance, bend and suppleness, then this is the horse riding lesson for you! This is a fabulous exercise for training a young horse, or it will even help an older horse limber up before the hard work begins.
In this video, I break down the exercise step by step, making it easy for both you and your horse to grasp. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect:
1: Balance and Bend: Learn how this simple exercise encourages your horse to find balance while bending, ultimately improving their overall performance.
2: Aid Coordination: Discover how to synchronize your aids effectively to guide your horse through the exercise, reinforcing communication and responsiveness.
2: Feeling of Bend: I'll help you develop a deeper understanding of the feeling of bend and how to achieve it harmoniously with your horse.
Whether you are schooling a horse for jumping or training a horse for dressage this horse riding lesson will be a welcome addition to your repertoire. It is one of my favourite exercises for horses and for the rider to help coordinate their aids.

It's simple but don't be fooled into thinking it's easy - to do it correctly requires some finesse. Let me know below how you go 👇
Looks tricky 😮
Certainly can be! 😆
Tried this today. It really helped me and my horse. Thank you
I’m so glad it helped 😊
That's an exercise I'll be using with my students and horses that need suppling. You've been a reliable and relatable resource that I refer clients to as a reference between lessons. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
You are welcome and thank you for the referrals to my channel 🥰
Tricky!! Great exercise Josie! But not simple at all, I would say. It requires careful & precise use of aids & good coordination too. I like it! My horse hates to be put in counter-bend, likely because it is challenging for her, so helpful to start that in the walk. Thankyou Josie, you produce fabulous training content. I'm truely an admirer. 🐴💞🐎🙏🏻
I love your videos you explain things so well ❤
Thank you ☺️
This is so helpfull and im saying this as a starter! Thanks for helping and for your generous and kind heart. God bless you
Thank you 🧡
Thank you ! just what I needed before going to the stable this afternoon :)
Let me know how you go 😀
@@BasicHorseTraining well lol, it's going to be a work in progress. He didn't understand my cues of what I was trying to do, and that's OK we'll continue working on it :)
LOVE all your video's and I am subscribed, thanks for all your help !
Hi Josie,
my three-year-old Paint Horse gelding is currently being trained to be a riding horse by my riding instructor. I've only ridden him a few steps three times so far, but I've been working with him from the ground since he was 7 months old. So it will be a while before I can start this lesson with him. On the school horses, however, this exercise is an important component in my riding instructor's efforts to teach me fine riding. Her approach to teaching western riding is similar in many ways to what I can see from your explanations in your videos. That's why I'm grateful to have come across your TH-cam account, where I found additional explanations in words and pictures.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Rob! Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm thrilled to hear that my videos have been helpful to you, even though you're still in the early stages with your horse. It's wonderful to know that my explanations have complemented your riding instructor's teachings. Best of luck with your riding journey!
Oooh I could have used this exercise today! I will be trying this tomorrow!! Thank you!!
Come and back and let me know how you go. ☺️
Thank you! This is a super exercise! :) x
Great video, thank you Josie!
Rebel, you’re such a good boy❤
😘
This is the first exercise I was taught by my mentor when I began to learn how to ride!
Holly Molly! I'm gonna try it but I'm not sure If i have the skills to do all that well haha, we will see...Thanks u so much for all your videos Josie u are great! :D
I really liked doing this exercise, but definitely looked easier than it was 😂
Nice one Josie.
Thank you! 😃
Super exercise.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for your amazing videos madam! I am going riding soon and im going to try this trick!
You are welcome 🙂
Finally had a try today, my horse did really well. Took a bit of effort, I’m as one sided as the horse 😂
Yay! Well done 🙂
Hello. Thank you for your clear and helpful information. Could you do a video on the round pen? What exactly am I supposed to do to cue my horse correctly? The other videos say "move the head, move this or that"... how exactly? I know the cues for riding, but round pen cues are a bit fuzzy...
Hello -wondering how soon you introduce this to a green horse? Thank you.
So the inside rein during the counter circle left (right rein) would be held a bit tighter as you bump the outside rein to help maintain direction of travel?
Or would it be the other way around?
Great question. I try hard to keep the reins fairly even but on a circle the outside rein often has a little more weight in it. Remember that inside and outside relate to the horses bend not the arena. So when the horse is on a circle in counter bend the rein closest to the centre of the circle you are travelling on is the outside rein. The rein is not held “tighter” but there may be more weight in it and you would use the opposite leg to “push” him to that rein. I don’t bump the rein but instead use a squeezing motion like I had a sponge in my hand. 🙂
would you say this comes before or after teaching them leg yield? thanks!
What camera do you use?
Is it a Pivo or just a normal camera?
Do you have your heels on him the whole time while you riding.?
I try not to have my "heels" on him at all. I do use my leg when I need to. He may have gotten a small "kick" with my heel if he wasn't listening to my leg 😊
@@BasicHorseTraining thank you for the info
I don’t doubt this must be useful in some way, because I’ve seen several trainers try to teach this. Plus I think I see that move in Olympic dressage routines. But it seems to be a very unnatural move for a horse. And, to me, if it’s an unnatural move for the horse then why insist they do it?
R, might aswell do something theyre not used to if its gonna help them
Having a rider on its back is also unnatural, but we still ride. As long as the movement helps the horse, it's all good
