The outside leg behind the girth keeps the haunches from fallin g out.\n Weight equal on both sides\,Horse follows your weight. If you si t to the inside too much\, the horse might move in that direction and off the wall.\n Your shoulders and hips should be turned inside slightly para llel to the horse’s shoulders so the outside hip and shoulder move forwa rd\n Horses shoulders should be on the wall at the end of the movement fr om the inside leg. Don’t stay in the shoulder-in for too long. There is no test 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 foreha nd will lean on the bit and the reins pulling the rider’s arms forward.\ n\nStretching\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 asking for free walk on a long rein or when opening the horses strid e out\, for example when riding lengthened strides.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n20.
