I ride a lovely school horse who is getting on in years and I really don't want to have to 'kick' him to get him going. He is quite a laid back fellow and have to use a crop gently on his neck to get him going quite a bit.
I would like to ask 2 things:
How do I ask a horse to walk with leg aids?
How do I ask a horse to move sideways? If I want to turn left, should I use my right leg on the girth to get him to move left and vice versa?
In the books I read, I don't have any specific instructions on how to move the horse. I know this is something I could ask my RI but would like some advice from you guys too! Thanks :smile:
