My rising 6yr old nice tb mare has just returned from 4 week intensive schooling with a local trainer
Before she went away she was fairly unbalanced in canter and we had issues getting her to canter at all on the right leg.
Ive ridden her just once since her return and she is MUCH better and although struck off on the wrong lead at my first time of asking the second time she got it right.
To keep the good work thats been put into her so far can anyone recommend me ridden exercises to improve the balance and quality of her canter?
For instance, should i concetrate more on balanced transitions up and down, direct and indirect or work on the actual canter itself on both reins.
As she's just learning her balance, Im wondering if 20mtr circles would be asking too much or should i take her large while letting her stretch down.
Counter canter?
suggestions welcome
and yes, a good instructor will also be used.
