I really like the detail you share on position of feet, legs and hands you give in your videos. Really helps a novice like me understand the full picture of my responsibility with clarity to my horse.
Trying to understand why you would ride him so far behind the vertical? It seems like a very uncomfortable break at the poll. To me it seems the bit is hitting him where he's trying to place his mouth and head set to get away from the pain. I'm just asking. Maybe you an explain this to me.
The same as professional athletes of physical agility sports(most Olympic events for example), it was a slow process over time to develop him physically to perform the maneuvers with as much of facility and safety as possible. We also develop flexibility, coordination, endurance.. same as any professional athletes. This is why my program emphasizes so much on the process of developing your horses progressively with exercises and drills. Again, just like professional athletes.

Good video - very informative and some good reminders to think about to make sure the lead change is an easy no stress maneuver
Thanks for all the great info.
This video was super helpful and I used it today on my western pleasure horse

Why does the horse have his nose so close to the ground?
Simply because he is relaxed and I let him
