Difficult or complicated to ride / exercise?
BUT...
• You would like your horse to be easier to ride and exercise?
• You would like to find new ways to work with your horse to improve their body and movement?
• You want to train your horse to work more symmetrically and improve their flexibility?
• You would like your horse to be more comfortable, supple and strong in his back?
• You would like your horse to be more symmetrical to ride and exercise?
You are looking to add some new training in to your routine that will actually HELP your horse?
Horses are naturally crooked, with one hindlimb stronger/stiffer than the other, and not a great design for riding, unfortunately!
In-hand exercise is one of the best ways I have found to train symmetry in the horse, and I have simplified the exercises into an easy to learn format for you.
By adding regular in-hand sessions to your routine, you are adding a new layer of corrective, foundational training, to help your horse with symmetry, flexibility, good correct posture and core engagement - all at the same time!!
• You will start the process of training your horse to use his limbs and body equally
• You will start to improve your horses flexibility
• He will start to lower his neck and use his body more fully in exercise
• Your horse will be more comfortable to ride as his core and back becomes stronger
• You will train your horse to move equally on each rein - no falling in or falling out
• Healthier, stronger and more flexible spine and back muscles
• Nice even bend through the body, on both reins
• Your horse will become stronger, more relaxed and more comfortable
• Easier and more pleasurable to ride and exercise!
