Tip/Quote of the Day # 647
"If your rein aids are not working it is because your leg aids are not working. Piece by piece fix the response to your leg aids first. Every horse should be able to do a proper turn on the forehand so start there." ~ Yvonne Barteau
I so agree! The turn on the forehand is often overlooked in the training process, and it is the foundation lateral exercise! Master that, and everything else will become so much easier.
