Warming Up – Part 1, At the Walk.

This exercise plan is primarily for horses that are showing Training Level and above. For young horses just starting one must be careful not to use much rein contact at the walk for this can ruin the walk quickly. Since the walk has no natural impulsion, too much work with contact at the walk can damage the quality of walk. The walk, once spoiled is nearly impossible to correct.

    What an amazing and thorough article! I like that you place such importance on something most everybody rushes through, the warm up! Can’t wait to try this on my guy. I wish there were instructors here in DC that could explain so eloquently. Thanks a bunch! Samantha and Simon in DC!
