[RC] Teaching downhill - magnumsmomI didn't see this idea, so I'll go ahead and post it.An "ol time" horse trainer leans way back and with an exaggerated motion also leans / rolls her entire upper body left and right with the rhythm of the horse's rear legs as he steps forward down hill. This really annoys Blue, but it taught him he had to use his back end and step forward with his rear legs to balance us while I was doing this. Teaching dressage, lifting the back, and using the rear on the flat first probably helped. Just an idea ...
