IIn this video Karen rides Solana to demonstrate the power of doing frequent transitions. Solana tends to be a bit sticky, with low responsiveness. This is an exercise that does not come naturally for her, so you will hear what Karen is thinking about to get a better result. Karen is using this exercise with Solana to improve her activity and balance during ‘down' transitions, and her readiness to respond to ‘up' transitions.
After watching this video, watch the other video this month: Feb 2024 Discussion: Use of Aids With Unresponsive Horse for an even more in-depth look at some of the techniques Karen is using.
