There is a tendency for riders to ‘hold’ a little too much during the downward transitions. And while the half halt is essential to the preparation and transition itself… Too much can lead to a very ‘stuck’ feeling when the horse actually makes it into the new gait! A little like ‘stuck in the mud’.
In this episode, I am releasing a Connection Bonus Live Call from June 2021. This is due to an ongoing hoarse voice! I hope you enjoy the ‘episode’ and that it is useful for you in your riding.
The focus for the month inside of Connection was self-carriage through downward transitions. In this particular call, I discuss ‘releasing the handbrake’, especially through the seat and hands, while riding the transition. I do hope that you find this helpful for your downward transitions.
Happy Riding
Lorna
