The outside leg behind the girth keeps the haunches from falling out. \n Weight equal on both sides\,Horse follows your weight. If you sit to t he inside too much\, the horse might move in that direction and off the wa ll.\n Your shoulders and hips should be turned inside slightly parallel t o the horse’s shoulders so the outside hip and shoulder move forward\n Horses shoulders should be on the wall at the end of the movement from the inside leg. Don’t stay in the shoulder-in for too long. There is no tes t that has the exercise ridden for more than half the long side (30 meters ).\n\n15. Dressage tests \n16.

Horse who is unbalanced and in particular heavy on their forehand will l ean on the bit and the reins pulling the rider’s arms forward.\n\nStretc hing\n\n When the rider moves their hands in a forward direction combined with the use of their leg and seat pushing\, the horse to remain engaged through their hindquarters and light on the bit thereby allowing the rider to open out the horses neck and frame.\n Stretching can be used when ask ing for free walk on a long rein or when opening the horses stride out\, f or example when riding lengthened strides.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20.
