have i made my horse right handed

[ilovecobs]

Silly question? im not sure.. But im right handed and find it easier to ride on the right rein and find it easier to turn my shoulders slightly to the right when i ride. Out of habit as soon as i go into the ménage i go on the right rein and i do a lot more work on that rein. Subsequently she is more supple and easier to ride on that rein. has anybody got any tips for the left rein, i have watched video of her and she actually looks the same on each rein but doesn't feel the same (not a HUGE difference but im really critical and there is a difference) she isn't as deep into her corners and i cannot use my inside leg (left leg) very well to help this at all.

Any advise is really appreciated

Like us horse prefer one side to the other, and i too find it a little harder to ride on the left rein. You need to make sure you do equal amounts of work on either rein, i.e two circles on the right, two on the left, and some times start on the left. You could also try some lateral work like leg yield, i found this worked very well in helping my mare become supple and step more under her body with her left hind, which she then did on a circle.
