So glad i found this article! Ive been having this falling in problem with my TB especially when he tries to cut corners to get back to the feed shed. I tried the inside leg to outside rein today and it worked perfectly! Its so simple but i couldnt work out how to get him back out onto the circle without steering his head crudely back out, bending him in the opposite direction he should be bent. Just that slight squeeze with the outside rein pushed him back out to the circle while maintaining the inside bend. Thanks so muc, will be bookmarking this article! 🙂

This will be really helpful when working with green horses who bend the opposite way you want them to! Loved this article! 😀

It’s amazing how our small mistakes make such a big difference in our horses’ movement. This goes to show how much patience horseback riding takes for both horse and rider.

Excellent article! I’ll reread this time and time again I’m sure. I have a Friesian that’s new to dressage, this article was just what I needed to assist him in learning how to have correct balance. Thanks Sharon!

Long article that I will have to come back and reread, but now I know what I have been doing is not correct.

I read the news about this horrible accident.
I wish Ms. Courtney King fast recovery.
By coincidence my wife Milena had a similar accident on 14 of February this year. Her horse stumbled two steps after jumping the fence, tipped over left side and fell. She stayed in the tack and she hit her head on the ground.
Thanks GOD she was wearing a helmet and this probably safe her life.
She was in coma for 3 days in the intensive care and another 10 days in hospital. She is now recovering at home.
The reason I’m writing is first of all to wish well for Ms. King and her full recovery.
The other reason is to raise the question how safe the helmets are. The helmet of my wife was GPA “SPEEDAIR-UNI” model.
I was observing carefully it after the accident. My finding is that the inner side is a bit hard and there is no enough absorption room for such impacts.
Shall be grateful if some of you write me back their comments and proposals in this respect.
