Karen coaches a rider through the Basic Alignment Exercise for the first time. Basic Alignment Exercise is one of the most powerful and fundamental exercises in Dressage Naturally. Once learned, this principle can be used to bring better balance and freedom of movement during basic and advanced movements.
This horse and rider have fairly good communication and ‘yield-ability’, so it is a good demonstration of just how quickly you can use this exercise to create a global change in the horse. In just 7 circles, the horse becomes more consistent and relaxed in his movement! This video is for everyone who is past foundation and playing with improving quality of gait.
