Friday afternoon is lunging time for Teg my Welsh D and very much enjoyed by both of us.
I have noticed that when she is on the right rein she always gets the correct leg in canter but on the left rein she invariably sets off on the wrong leg so I bring her back to trot and ask for canter again but it can take 3 or 4 attempts to get her to strike off correctly (though I was pleased to see her correct herself with a flying change this afternoon )
So how do I tackle this?
Do I continue with what I am doing - to bring her back to trot etc?
Is there some way I can help her to strike off correctly?
Will it simply improve with practice?
She was backed last summer so is a bit green.
