I mainly just hack/jump for fun but I want to try some proper schooling and attempt some dressage, I don't have an arena so try and school on hacks, I'm going to get some lessons but it depends on money and transport!
There's plenty of space on our hacks to school, but when I did used to have lessons YEARS ago, I was taught different things by different people when it comes to lateral work.
So say you're going down the 3/4 line, to leg yield to the track I was taught to keep the contact on outside rein, slight flex to inside, weight slightly onto outside seat bone, inside leg just behind girth. But have since been told inside leg should be on the girth instead?
As you can see I'm a total numpty when it comes to this dressage lark so any help with what the correct aids should be will be greatly appreciated!
