Lesson 4

• Quarter Turns ( Turn On The Forehand ).
• Teaches your horse an aid that encourages stretching and flexion, along with strengthening the quarters.

Struggling to get a horse to move off your leg?

Need to step your horse over to open or close a gate while riding?

Lesson 5

• Shoulder Turns ( Turn on the Haunches).
• Teaching your horse the first steps to abduct one front leg away from his midline in balance keeping the hindquarters still.

Fed up of your horse falling in or out on a circle?

Struggling to get a good entry up the centre line?

Does your horse lean into you when handling?

This introduces turning in a light, more balanced way.

Lesson 6

• Side pass & Leg Yield
• Teaching your horse to side step (moving the shoulders and quarters together) in a slow controlled way.

You must have a light aid with Shoulder Turns and Quarter Turns before moving on to this, to help your horse to understand what you are asking and to get the best results.

How many of us lose the horses shoulder or can’t get enough hind leg across in the Leg Yield, end up shoving or hanging on to the reins trying to keep some form of straightness and hope to make it across the arena!

This enables you to control the shoulder and quarters of your horse, so when you move on to Leg Yield (a forward diagonal movement) your horse is in control of his legs in a straight and balanced manor.
