Improving Suppleness - Part 1
Liz starts this lesson by warming the horse up and getting him more flexible and through all while riding without stirrups. She recommends the rider use more leg and positioning when he locks up.

Improving Suppleness - Part 2
They continue to work on bend in the ribcage. Liz instructs the rider to use her leg before her hand to keep him supple, and when he comes out stiff to think of being in shoulder-in, travers or leg yield.

Improving Suppleness - Part 3
They move on to the canter work, with the goal of keeping the roundness and bend to help get the horse's hind leg more under his body.
