Charlotte Drakeley invites us into a detailed training session with the gelding Renaldo , focusing on developing softness and balance through lateral work.
She rides numerous micro-transitions between travers and shoulder-in, later incorporating half pass, all with the goal of keeping the gelding light and consistent in the contact. Throughout the session, she pays close attention to rein symmetry and subtle variations in flexion and bend.
These carefully layered exercises are part of her preparation for the canter pirouette, helping the horse build strength, coordination, and responsiveness—all while staying soft with the reins.
A great illustration of how refined lateral work builds the connection and control needed for more advanced movements.
