Well have been criticising my riding for some time now, wondering why my horse doesnt go as well for me as he does for my instructor, it has to be me and i have worked it out!!
1) In canter i lean to the OUTSIDE OMG how do i correct that. Canter is always a bad pace for me because Bailey always used to bomb off with me so it has made me catious. Red needs a lot of leg so i seem to grip with my legs and slip to the outside and Red wants to come in all of the time as a consequence - any suggestions anyone?
2) My left hand and right leg are very untoned. I can get a nice tune out of Red on the left rein because i can work him leg to hand but on the right rein my left hand seems unable to coordinate and "feel" properly. So i end up softening him all the time and its doing neither of us any good. I over compensate with my inside rein and therefore he goes like a banana to the outside. Anyone any ideas on how to coordinate my left hand?
Mt left wrist is very weak, my wrist is strong on my right hand (from writing before you guys say anything!
) should i start writing with my left hand?
Plus how do i strengthen my right leg?
Im willing to do anything to try and fix this because i feel its quite a big barrier in our progression.
Sorry for the essay, any help or suggestions would be very helpful
Thanks guys
