24m
Karen teaches a student, Linda, on her big moving, sensitive Swedish Warmblood, Ressac. Ressac can get tight and tense, especially in the canter. He also can get strung out in his body, yet curled up and 'too light' in the contact, making it difficult for Linda to solve on her own. Watch as Karen guides them through exercises at the walk, trot and canter to increase his engagement, balance and relaxation. This video is excellent for anyone looking for some exercises to improve the canter.
