Warm-up on the Flat for Cross Country | Liz Halliday-Sharp

6m 37s

Before heading out to the cross country course, Liz has the rider work on the flat. By addressing things like bend, balance and tempo now, the rider will have a more manageable horse on course. She needs to establish a forward canter but still maintain contact with the reins. It is also important that when the rider puts her leg on, the horse listens and responds immediately.
