Thank you so much😊

I often let this fundamental element slip off my radar. I need to schedule a reminder for myself each month to revisit this video. Thanks

[@johannajequestrianphysio]

Well I can tell you that you're not the only one! I think we all forget sometimes😅

[@suzanneroyce9300]

[@veritascaritas8500]

Absolutely agree. Your explanations are so clear & on point. You really describe so well the subtle changes required. Thank you 😊

@@veritascaritas8500 Thank you🥰

[@elenak1333]

Thank you! Thats very similar to how my instructor explained it, difficult skill, but so valuable! We also shorten a canter stride like this, don't we? Through the series of half halts,but the leg is still on?

[@johannajequestrianphysio]

Yes!😊

[@heatherduke7703]

I’m a beginner and I didn’t quite understand what you meant about leg aids. You’re applying pressure with the legs at the same time? Like seat and hand say slow but legs say keep going?

[@johannajequestrianphysio]

Yes but very light pressure, just keeping the leg close to the horse to maintain the cadence, not to actually push the horse forward. There are so much nuances to it and you really develop the feel just by practice😊

[@heatherduke7703]

@@johannajequestrianphysio Ok, thank you! I’m working on lesson horses at the moment and I’m not sure they respond well to subtle leg cues 😅 But I will keep this in mind
