My horses had yesterday off or they had a really easy day with their owners so today is all about suppleness. Our work today will consist of bending lines like circles, serpentines and figures of 8. On those figures we will do transitions to make our horses obedient to the aids. Most of the horses will do leg yields to stretch the long muscles of the body. The youngsters will not do leg yields they will focus on 1/4 lines instead.
We will focus on our rider's position so that we are giving very accurate aids and helping our horses find their balance.
You should walk your horse for 10 minutes.
The warm up should take 10 minutes.
2 minute break
The work out should take 18 minutes.
The cool down should take 5 minutes.
Let me know what figures that you do and how it worked for your horse. Did the time limits help your efficiency?
