Gaited Horse Exercise: Shoulder-in on a circle
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 9 Jun 2017
This is a naturally gaited fox trotting horse performing a shoulder-in on a circle. I learned this exercise by watching Philippe Karl's Classical Dressage DVD series. I absolutely love how balanced, soft, light and responsive all of my horses are becoming from applying French dressage. This particular horse just last year was so stiff in the jaw, back and hind leg. After introducing Philippe Karl's work in hand exercises and then progressing to this exercise, I am amazed with the quality of movement this horse is able to produce. Instead of resisting the bit, she tastes the bit and accepts the bit, and she steps under her body instead of disengaging.
