- In this lesson, Peter guides you and demo rider Skylar Wireman through a warm-up on the flat that emphasizes suppleness and rideability.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
⭐When warming up, try to let your horse find her own balance with a nice, forward posting trot in each direction.
⭐As you gather your reins, don’t ask for too much flexion but do ask your horse to step up to the contact you’ve taken.
⭐The goal of your warm-up is to ensure your horse is in tune with and listening to you.
⭐During your warm-up, practice your transitions. Check your horse’s responsiveness to your aids. Is your horse feeling sluggish? Try getting up off his back at the canter and using the forward movement to get “unstuck”.
You must have your horse in front of your leg, going forward, in order to have options for rideability.
