Ronny states that confidence for the horse can come through the rider maintaining a steady rhythm. He shows an exercise with two triangles of ground poles, which help the rider see how straight and rhythmical the horse is in the approach. The focus is on a forward rhythm while keeping the horse straight.

Extension, Collection and Rollback in...
Ronny watches the horses extend and come back in the trot and canter with the emphasis on coming back in balance to be able to correctly execute a rollback. He would like to see more body influence than hand when bringing the horse back.

Forward and Back in Canter – Part 1
The horses should be able to freely move forward and back in the canter and bringing the horse back should mostly be done with the riders upper body. In a course if the rider collects the horse abruptly it could mess up the striding and distance to the next fence.

Proper Turning and Rollback
The riders put Ronny’s tips into action while riding turns and rollbacks. He wants the riders to step into the outside stirrup, open the inside rein and use the outside rein against the neck. This helps the horse do a tighter turn while keeping the same tempo.
