Mary Wanless and rider Chantal work through how to stop a horse from drifting inward. Instead of kicking with your inside leg, aim your thigh like a laser beam at a distant mark on the arena wall, ride rectangles to use the track, and make turns as small arcs rather than tight pivots.
Left to themselves, horses would tend to.
Fall in round a curve than the other. So if I was a horse and my friend was over there, I'd take.
The quickest way and the shortest route.
And I probably would fall on this shoulder and fall in to get to my friend over there. You don't see so many horses in fields kind of going, whoa, I meant.
To go over there.
What's happening? I was trying to go to my friend.
Fallout is a very human created problem.
Fall in is probably more the horse baseline.
First of all, it helps to be on the track because what we're going to do to begin to sort out.
This problem is ride rectangles rather than circles. This is easiest to learn on a square or a rectangle. Chantal thinks of her thigh bone within her thigh and she's going to think of her thigh bone as if it.
Was a power hose or as if.
It was a SkyFi weapon that could shoot laser beams or light beams.
And she's going to shoot these laser.
Beams and light beams out through her knee and aim for the hinges on. There's a little door in the side of the arena down there with hinges on it, and that's where you're going to aim. So when you need to turn, you have to let off the aim. So you just don't think that in.
Such a profound way you have to ride to make this work.
Having gone down the long side and down the track here, you have to.
Ride a little arc of a circle to make your turn because the horse just can't turn on a sixpence, as.
We say in England.
And then you aim through this thigh.
To an upright, a mark on the wall. If you're outdoors, it could be a.
Tree in the far distance and you're.
Shooting laser beams and light beams or your power hose.
Thinking as you aim to that place.
And you keep aiming across here. And you'll only let off the aim.
When you get to about here, which.
Is where you begin that little arc of a circle which will take you to the wall. And as soon as you get to the wall, you re aim.
Most people in this situation wouldn't be.
Thinking of aiming like this.
What they'd be doing is kicking a.
Whole load with their inside leg horse. You got to get out, you know.
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick.
The fact that they keep kicking kind of says it doesn't work.
When you're aiming for through your thigh like this, you have a much more.
Intention into the distance. This is where we're going than if.
You go and you're just caught up.
On this bit of you and this bit of the horse.
