Counter Canter | Jan Bemelmans | INTRO

2m 52s

Horses have to accept the whip, they cannot be afraid of the whip. A good exercise is to touch them with your left hand behind the saddle but not with the whip so he has a little bit of confidence. Jan Bemelmans discusses the counter canter and how to keep the horse from swapping leads behind. But they begin by focusing on getting the horse to leg yield, creating confidence with the whip and working toward quicker reactions to the aids.*This video is from our archives. Riders are required to wear protective headgear in all current DT OnDemand videos.
