Gymnastic for the horse: Getting more quality out of the gaits of the horse
Heather and her horse are training with Monica Theodorescu. The aim is to get more quality out of the natural gaits of the horse, improve the shoulder freedom and the weight carriage. According to Monica Theodorescu it is always a difficult part to have the connection from the hind legs to the bit, really trough the body. So that you have a soft connection and a horse in front of your aids. You have to work on this every day; basic exercises, proper corners, proper activity and proper energy without getting hot. You can reach that with a lot of gymnastic. And that’s why they are doing!
