Re: [RC] lengthening stride - sharp penny
This is Reno's major down fall as well..he will turtle
walk, then when the horse we're riding with gets out of
sight he panic's and starts doing his dancing in place
thing. I found that always insisting on a very forward walk
every time I ride has helped. Using alternate leg pressure
for each front hoof fall will get them to lengthen the walk
with out cueing for a trot. I will also exaggerate my hip
movement while using my leg, almost like I'm walking while
sitting in the saddle. The more impulsion I want the more I
use hip and leg. The minute he gives me any impulsion I
stop using leg. When he starts to get pokey again I say
"walk on" and start using alternate leg again. With time,
if you consistently do this every time you ride, you will
use less and less leg.
Regards,
Penny
