Leg Movers VS Back Movers

Description

Some horses naturally use their entire bodies when they move, even with a rider on board. These natural back movers tend to be relaxed and swinging through their backs all of the time. When watching them work, you can actually see the throughness and the elasticity of their movements. Then there are some horses that don't have a lot of natural movement through their bodies when they move - even without a rider on board. These horses are natural leg movers.

The majority of horses fall somewhere in between. They can move through their bodies, but may have a tendency to tighten their backs and become leg movers when ridden. Let's talk about how to tell if your horse is correctly moving through his back, how to improve your horse's back movement, and why it is so important!
