    @Gotadun Yeah, you can see the difference in how the horse moves himself and carries himself over the poles. No hesitation either. I just wish he's pick up his feet a LITTLE more at the canter. I...

    Well, if it was about being percise, I don't think he was a very good example. His horse hitting poles and doing messy turns on the haunches/forehand doesn't scream "precise" to me, but that's just...

    @Video (That GotaDun quoted) It was...interesting, but I thought that it just looked like a trail class set up in a dressage ring to me. Even then, I've seen much more careful and well trained...

    @Gotadun I definitely think that might be something I'm leaving out, or at least not taking into consideration when I "collect". It's actually really helped me talking to you and the others here...

    @Deserthorsewoman Oh, alright :) @Longride Yes, I do notice it quite a lot in dressage. I guess it's funny that JJ only does it when asked for a transition to the canter, not other transitions....

    Although it's not a "necessity" for her to be able to lead, I think it's a smart and safe idea just in case of an emergency or once in a blue moon event for her to be able to. What if a fellow rider...

    Do you mind explaining more? Do you mean if he's being ridden or while you're lunging him? Either way, I would go back to some ground work and start from their. Lunging your horse is a good way to...
