Improving Transitions on the Flat | Kristy Herrera

Problem Solving • 10m

Kristy McCormack (Herrera) helps a rider work on transitions with a horse that can be fussy in the bridle. She wants the rider to maintain a steady contact and then add leg, having the horse move forward into the contact. She reminds the rider that in a down transition the leg has to go on first followed by the hand so that the transition is smooth and forward thinking. As they progress through the gaits in the upward and downward transitions, the horse becomes softer and steadier in the bridle.
