I learned this exercise from Canadian Olympian Christilot Boylen. You can do it in either trot or canter on a 20-meter circle. We’ll begin in trot.
1. Begin by tracking left on a 20-meter circle from B.
2. When you reach E, transition to walk and, staying on a circle line, keep a bow in the hore’s body and do a giant leg yield from the left leg into soft, receiving outside aids. This exercise, like the first one, is primarily about the inside aids. How much can you ride your horse with one side? Not that you would do this all the time, but can you do it? In the beginning, don’t be afraid to experiment and actually dump the outside rein, allowing your horse to arc onto that…
