I have vowed to improve my dressage (currently only prelim level) over the winter so have started to introduce some work without stirrups.
I have noticed that the quality of our canter greatly improves when I have no stirrups. My little TB is extremely on the forehand and runs into (and throughout) his canter. When working without stirrups last night I got him back, and even a little more up if that makes sense - why is this? Or is it just because it feels different to me with no stirrups??
Many thanks - and sorry if the answer is really obvious! any insight or help welcome
