Dressage to music

[dondiegodane]

When you are counting your horses BPM do you watch the front legs or back legs? I thought it was hind legs for trot and leading leg for canter and hind legs for walk? Only I have now read different?

i have always been told to match the beat with the back legs (that was from clair lilney(sp) at your horse live as well)

It doesn't matter which leg you look at but keep to the same one.

It can really help to put a bright coloured bandage/boot on the leg you want to watch, unless your horse has one white sock or one dark leg.
