Your Next Step…
Once you have practiced controlling falling in on the
circle at the walk, repeat the exercise at the trot. All the
aid sequences are the same. However, at the trot you will
need to keep your eyes and vision ahead of the horse.
Keep looking ahead at each quarter of the circle, visually
remembering where the horse fell in. Before that quarter,
use the inside bending leg to move the horse out on the
circle to make it bigger while lightly applying the inside
indirect rein to move the shoulders out on the circle.
Support him with the outside leg and rein to improve his
balance and keep him from falling in. Your turning aids
will be used again on the portion of the circle where he is
not falling in. Remember: in last week’s lesson the turning
aids are important to help when the horse is falling out.
The bending aids and making a curve bigger using the
inside aids are the key to improving falling in.
