​@valeriemccloskey4733 fine looking fillies, need more videos 😊

The saddle stand is called a saddle buck I got it from a place in Rochester NY . I will have to research to find the name of the place .

@@whisperwindeq Thank you

Linda super question . I hope to be adding some ridden videos I. The future when life slows a bit in the farm but for now I’ll explain the best I can . If you are asking your horse to LY to the left the diagonal HH work like this as you horse is lifting his inside or right hind leg you in that moment would add your inside seat nine and calf lightly in combination with standing . Stabilizing your left rein aid to straighten the shoulders as well as tell the horse how much for word movement you are allowing . You will feel the inside hind leg a coupe of ways , either as your horses barrel moves away from your leg or you may feel your inside hip drop down and fit word slightly . It is important to mention that when we apply out leg that we should lengthen our leg not contract it and add the heel , this would remove your inside seat bone and encouraging collapsing . I hope this helps .

@@valeriemccloskey4733 that’s quite a lot to think about (as I sit on the sofa 😊) I will think about applying my inside aids as the horses barrel moves away? That sounds sort of logical as you are scooping the horse to the left almost - with the rhs aids - while stabilising the left shoulder with the left rein? Thanks- I have subscribed now so look forward to seeing more of your videos (found you by accident 😊) x

Hi yes , great question . I also use the terms half go , or rebalance . So if your horse tends to be quick and over tempo there are many things you can do . I will just give you a couple here as I hope to add video of this in the near future and demonstrate it . 1. Do many many transitions I mean millions of them . If your horse is rushing at the trot , trot a few strides walk just keep repeating these . This will help your horse understand the “ half go “ and by doing transitions we bring the horse back to the walk before they lose balance and rush . I find best to do these on a circle depending on the age , training level of horse as the circle and the bend helps the horse not get to quick while going straight down the wall . The other thing is we as riders must have control of our own bodies and tempo , if a horse wants to to trot quickly for example 1,2,1,2 1,2 then I post 1 ...2 1...2 with a pause or hesitation to help the horse come under me and into my tempo . Hope this helps and watch for video on this in the future . Please share and invite friends to subscribe .

Yes you are correct . Often times it is misunderstood and I’m an effort to seat deeper sometimes the seat bones cause the opposite effect of lifting the back .

@@valeriemccloskey4733 Thank you for confirming that.

It is a saddle Buck you can Google them . You can also do all of these on an exercise ball

The leg encourages energy and lift of the and/ back . Alt halts are all seat and leg hardly any hand as explained in the video . The leg aid depends on what you are doing in that moment

How do I do that ? Happy too .

Because I’m riding we ride from balance and must have an independent seat . The stirrups should only be used to help support your foot but not to push off of or brace on . The shifting of weight comes from Lengthening the leg from the hip down . A very strong core is necessary to be able to have balance, independent seat , body control as well as effective HH.

@@valeriemccloskey4733 thanks for answer🥰, can you tell me how to achieve this result? what exercises to do? Working student

I was confused by this too. I assume it just means really engage your core but I’d love more clarification on this too!
