In this video, DN Instructor Shelby Hume explains how to lead by example when riding. She is riding a horse that has just recently been started, so you will see how she uses this concept in the most basic way. She’ll share what she is thinking and doing in her body when asking for transitions, energy, and the beginning of yielding for bend. This video is great for anyone, but in particular for those of you who may feel like you are using too many leg and rein aids and want your horse to start tuning into your seat and energy more. Shelby mentions that she talked about this Leading By Example concept when she was a guest on Karen’s podcast.
