9/24/2011 Walter Zettl-CAN

 

Mr. Zettl leads us through this training session with Lauren Barwick, para-dressage, para-olympian, as they work on creating more response and sensitivity with her horse. He emphasizes an active hind leg and uses trot, almost walk, to trot transitions to create this. The rider is encouraged to do this with a gentle connection and soft hands, always remembering to half halt and let go. Walter suggests using shoulder in or renvere to get the horse using the hind leg...which ever he does better and has more engagement within. They end with a focus on canter/walk transitions aiming to achieve fluid balanced transitions.
