Lesson Two with Abby:
- again flexing exercised will able my mare to be able to hold leads better, and will strengthen her off side.
- Do lots of work on the less muscled side
- Make sure i'm riding on the balls of my feet rather than further back
- When collecting hold for a few seconds then release as a reward, the more i practice this the more she will develop new muscles in her " topline " and this will keep her head where it needs too be. Practice this in a snaffle. Light hands
- When flexing do a bigger circle then go into smaller, make sure she doesn't cheat at this by not having any forward motion or speeding up
- In a pivot/spin make sure the head is down otherwise horse is not getting full exercise and is cheating.
