Improving the Canter by Improving Yields At the Walk - Feb 2018
Lateral Work Riding
•
31m
In this video we see DN Instructor, Shawna Lewis, riding a client’s jumping horse in a lesson with me to help him improve his canter. This is the first time I am seeing the horse and since he has a lot of mental and physical brace I decide to do an exercise at the walk in order to improve some of his flexibility and mobility in general. You will see how the canter changes for the better, even though we never 'worked' on it.
