Most difficult movement

Of all the transitions or movements which one do you consider to be the most difficult to accomplish.

Remaining strait!

I remember when I boarded Nelson at the Hunt Club - and whenever the arena was Harrowed, I would try to ride Nelson in a strait line, following the harrow lines - and after we got from one end to the other, I would look back at how we did....and it never was good.

You know how hard it is to ride strait?!?!

Hmmmmm prob the piaffe or haunches in.

keeping dead straight up the centre line on Iceman who likes to dance sideways :P

I would say flying lead changes of every stirde. You have to be striaght, have a supple horse on both sides, a horse who responds to leg pressure very quickly, and a relaxed mind.

Yeah piaffe and haunches in are definitely the toughest movements. It's so weird that they would but the haunches in at a way lower level than piaffe because they are like basically the same degree of difficulty.

My horse did both today! She was fantastic! Oh BTW I have a new halt pic that I will post ASAP.

To me the most difficult movement is a halt to ONE stride of canter to halt. Just under that level difficulty is the walk to ONE stride of canter to walk.

LOL my horse does that when shes naughty!

I would love to see vids or pictures of you and your horse doing these movements Trissacar.
