Monday- Exercise!

Exercise 1-

 In trot, concentrate on making your turns around the cones more right angle instead of arcs. If your horse is too keen around the turns, do half halts to maintain the rhythm and don't constantly pull on the reins, pull and release for a better outcome!













Exercise 2-

Place 2 poles or cavaletti jumps to ride over. Start at a trot and then work into a canter. Stay balanced and when approaching the jump, stay in a steady balanced canter or trot. If your horse is too fast or keen, ask for a downwards transition and then try the trot or canter again.










Exercise 3-                                

 Place a small vertical or cross bar jump in the middle of the arena (center line at X) and come at the fence at trot and then canter. Make sure to keep the canter steady but forward canter. Once again, if your horse rushes, bring him back to a trot and a walk and ask for another canter.

Tips for rushing horses-
-Do lots of half halts
- Pull and release on the reins
- Do a few small circles when your horse is going too fast

Stay horse:)
