Karen revisits two videos in the Classroom (Rebalancing Through Raising The Neck, and Improving Throughness For A Steadier Connection from June 2018)) and takes a closer look at why she chose to ride each one differently, and shows how they arrived to a similar positive result. You will see side by side comparisons of the two horses. Karen will also go into more detail on how to use the techniques shown in the videos. She shows herself using one of the techniques with her horse Ovation in a corrective way, and also in a refined way during upper level movements. This video is great for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of those techniques and to train their eye to see the differences between types of movement in different horses.
