The Sweet Spot of Biomechanics

24m
An on line exercise using a change of direction and bend to help create suppleness in your horses. This is like a coordinated dance move with your horse, requiring several ingredients to be in place, and then that you can lead your horse through it in the right position, with the right timing. It is an extremely valuable gymnastic exercise for the horse that is low impact because it can be done very effectively at the walk. This video is excellent for anyone who is playing on line and wants to develop more suppleness and symmetry in their horse's lateral balance.
