Straightness and Connection | Nicholas Fyffe | PART 01

Nicholas Fyffe works with this young rider starting by asking for a consistent frame and connection in the walk.  He challenges her to be precise in her free walk, and to get that walking back to the barn walk. He asks her to ride a slight shoulder fore at the walk which will help with the straightness later in the canter.  They do a leg yield from center line to the wall, making sure he is moving forward before asking for a sideways movement.  It is much easier moving off the left leg. They move to the trot, and Nicholas asks that the frame be longer and lower, reaching for the bit and covering more ground.
