My horse is what you call 'dead to the leg', he is responsive, but I find that I continually have to squeeze and back that up with seat aids, and flick of whip to get him going.
If I decide we are going to canter, I sit squeeze and he canters, but I have to keep at him to maintain it.
I just wondered if there where any exercizes that we could try out in the school that would help him work off the leg a bit quicker, as going from walk to trot is quite 'slow'
I have ridden him in spurs and he is alot better, but I would prefer to try and work him on a day to day basis without.
Any ideas?
