In this video, Karen rides Hot Shot through a pattern that will cause him to put more effort into his canter departs and flying changes. Hot Shot is a low energy horse by nature.
This pattern is great for horses who already understand the basic communication about Energy and Relaxation but may need some reminders during more gymnastic exercises. This simple pattern will set your horse up to understand what to do and be more responsible for doing it. In transitions, you don’t want to have to push or use a lot of aids as that will generally create tension.
