2023 June5 Stevis Man Ride

This video was made with the Pixem. Please excuse the wandering. At this point in his training, we begin with the walk, with a focus on suppling and responding to the aids. We then do trot work which some would say is a bit slow but this is the speed at which Stevie can maintain and work on his balance. You can only go as fast as the horse can balance himself, at least in my training approach. We move on to introduction to lateral work. It’s more application of the aids while looking for some response or yield. This will be addressed in each training session, eventually becoming true shoulder in, haunches in and half pass. There will be no force used, simply an ask and as Stevie develops, he will yield more and more until we are there. In the meantime, this work aids in suppling Stevie. Lastly we move to transitions which I feel are vastly important to developing strength.
