Contact is the key: How to work the horse through his body and over the back

Monica Theodorescu is training a gelding who has difficulties going through his body by using his back. The connection between hind legs and bit is not sufficient. According to Monica you can’t ride without a horse in front of you. With this horse you have to create the contact first, so that he really works from behind. The aim is to get some weight in your hands and have the horse in front of you. According to Monica you can’t ride without a horse in front of you.
