Lateral Work & Suppleness Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

This week’s live Q&A I kept it short and sweet. I talk about getting your horse supple with lateral work, I also shared updates from some of my programs, 30 Days to Round and the Training Scale Masterclass, and I’m so proud of those students.

I shared about my journeys with Harvey and Kensington and how they have progressed up through the levels, and how I love training and bringing young horses up through the levels.

Steffen Peters also came to my barn this week and I got to ride my horses and some of my clients horses with him. We worked on the subtlety of my aids and how I can better train and ride my horses so I shared a little bit about this too.

More round! Get your horse on the bit! Have you heard these things before? They are common things you may hear about horses and riding, but sometimes we say them without really knowing what they mean.

Tune in to hear the tips that Germán and I have when working to get our horses more round and to hear our answers to audience questions. Plus, I’ll share more about why I am so excited about my 30 Days to Round challenge being back!
