We need to have a balanced horse - this horse tends to sit at the back of the rectangle - meaning he can be sluggish and not as forward as I’d like. In this video we’ll ride the “back of the rectangle” so that he learns to find the center - or be just slightly ahead of me. I don’t want him blowin...

I expect a highly educated horse such as this one to hold their shape, and ride to a certain standard. Some days and on some horses I may not get there, but it’s always a goal. I almost always reach it on her. Remember to slow your seat to get the slow down and ride fast to get the speed up!

Don't let you horse dictate where you go, when you go. That's your job.

We had a malfunction with the pivo, but I do think you likely get the idea of what we are getting at with this - ride the speed you want your horse to go. If they beat you, bend them. If they don’t, you hustle them until they meet your energy. Best done in a snaffle bit.

How we develop speed control, and why it’s important.

Killing cats at speed, fundamentals of forward, quickening the feet, the backup and more! This ride is chock full of tools for your toolbox.
