In this video, we'll go through a fun exercise to improve your horse's turning skills by using a wall or fence. We'll build on previous lessons by continuing to connect the reins to the hind feet, enhancing the hindquarter yield, swinging the shoulders, and practicing the forward yield.
These turning exercises are invaluable for refining your upward transitions, as the improved turning ability will make those transitions smoother and more balanced. Additionally, the forward yield components will help sharpen your horse's responsiveness and precision when executing turns.
We'll also share some helpful tips on training your horse to position themselves at the mounting block, making the mounting process easier and safer for both you and your equine partner.
Get ready to have fun while taking your horse's turning skills and overall responsiveness to new levels! Whether you're just starting out or looking to fine-tune your horse's performance, this exercise will be a valuable addition to your training repertoire.
