Hello I've been taking my rather green eventer out recently and he's been doing really well in the dressage phase and now getting lots of 7s!
I'm super proud of this as not long ago he had his head in the air all the time and couldn't canter nicely at all, he just felt unbalanced. Transitions were also a mess. It seems to have taken him a while to work out how to use his big body!
He works really nicely now but the comments that keep cropping up are about suppleness (one commented about bending around the ribcage) and straightness.
If anyone knows of any exercises I could try to help this please let me know!
I can send a video of our latest DR test to anyone of interest!
Note: we are having regular lessons but I'd like some exercises/tips I could try in the meantime, also nice to have other opinions too!
Thank you in advance
