Hi all.
Before I start just let me explain that I have never had proper horse lessons (apart from kiddie lessons when I was under 10 years old). I am just a happy hacker and have had horses only 3 years with no schooling experience at all. Because of my location I dont have any instructors available to help. All my learning is done through reading and trial and error and practice.
I want to learn how to leg yield. I have read loads, watched YouTube videos etc. But I am confused as to whether the rider's weight should shift slightly in the direction you want to go, or on the opposite side. Please can you lovely lot explain to me in the simplest way possible (without too much horsey jargon) what aids to use?
Thanks a lot.
