24m
Karen shares a ride on Ovation. In this session she focuses on being engaged from the beginning of the ride. The walk plays an important role here because it is a gait that can be collected without undue strain on the horse. The ride begins with walk, and quietly grows more powerful.
This is an excellent video for anyone looking to find the sweet spot of engagement in a more efficient way.
