I love seeing a horse light, forward and with self carriage instead of bound up between the riders hand and leg. I so wish there was more of that out there.
Thank you for explaining the different moves and making them understandable, so often the teacher will tell you to do a movement but give no idea on how to set them up.
I'm definitely going to try "bump bump". I think I sort of do it already because I get correct strike without half step, but I'll focus on it. Thank you for this breakdown 😊
Love your videos. Just to clarify. Which front leg should be in front when you ask for the canter. You mentioned the back inside leg but which front leg? I still struggle with getting the correct lead.
Try to learn to feel the hind legs Stacey because it will make it easier for you in the long run. It just takes a little time and patience and you can do it. Watch this th-cam.com/video/Ftz1ryEap4M/w-d-xo.html To answer your question you would ask for canter when the inside front leg is about to touch down - so as it is coming through in front.
Hi..had some difficulty with 1/4 line transition..as if she didn’t understand what I was asking. Maybe more balance in the leg yield? On a really positive note I opened hips and did 2 circles with no swap. I have never had open hips explained 😮. As soon as I sat back, she moved forward. Thx for the amazing tip!
@@gailross2083 sorry to have taken a while to answer this. Horses often swap when green, unbalanced, or stiff in the canter. If they haven't done much canter they can lack strength. You may need to do a short amount of canter and then trot her for a while then do a little canter and then trot. Try to trot before she changes and this will help her strength. Make sure you check your position and you are sitting correctly as your weight can have a large effect on the horse. What problem did you have with the 1/4 line transition?
I'm probably over thinking this. Do you sit the trot for the bump bump - that would be like for two trot strides then ask canter? Position your outside leg back first, in prep for the ask? What if your horse doesn't pick up the canter just keeps trotting? TIA
Hi Josie, yet another great video. I understand the theory and can see everything in my minds eye but it doesn't always work when I try it ! I haven't done it out of a leg yield so might ask Nat to try this in one of my next lessons. I usually try when I'm in a 20 m circle? Doing the bump bump would work the same.
Thanks Alison. It should be the same as long as you are on the correct diagonal. You want to put the aid on as the outside hind leg is about to take the weight.
This would take a lot of feel. I must try it. I get a little uptight in the canter transition and I don’t think it helps the horse. That bump, bump might help me.
Why? Do you not ride with an independent seat? Do you think horses should work overbent (despite the scientific evidence to prove their distress in these situations)? Do you not understand how training horses should be aiming to create *lighter* aids, not heavier? Hoping you can get yourself a better instructor who can teach you some less ignorant methods and horse-behaviour-friendly principles 🙄
I love this simple exercise and the results it can give you. Try it and don't forget to come back and tell me how you went. I love hearing from you 😊
I love your videos because your training is very honest and you don’t use tricks.
Thank you 😊.

Loved this video! I will try tmro. My girl swaps out tho..any suggestions on that? Thx
Do you mean she starts in correct canter and then changes leads?
Yes

How do you teach your horse to leg yield Josie?

Its looking hot over there!
It's Autumn and is still hot during the day!

I hope it helps Catherine 😊

I would not have my dog in the arena while I'm riding.
Your reins are a bit to long , try shorter reins ❤
