Riding Up and Out

25m 16s

With a horse that has a tendency to get too low and curl, Kasey wants to make sure the rider focuses on the half-halt bringing the horse’s shoulders up and the hindquarters under. However, she wants the half-halt mostly through the seat so that the hand doesn’t take too much and make the horse curl more. In the lateral work, the poll needs to be the highest point and the nose needs to go out.
