Day 3: Bridling up and Lead Changes
Stepping back into manual riding, we will take a look at developing softness in the bridle in order to work towards collection. We discuss vertical flexion, leads and lead changes. Don’t let these topics scare you away. This is simply helping your horse understand his responsibilities with the bit and helping you get your horse supple enough to do a lead change. Any level rider is welcome.
