I appreciate that, thanks for the comment!

[@lesliegreen7828]

Thank you!….this video clearly answered my constant question of how firm…how soft……I have tended to be too soft at times

[@ArtOfTheHorseman]

Great to hear! That question comes up a lot in our clinics and virtual coaching. Thanks for commenting!

If I may, I try to keep in mind 3 words; What's *necessary* to get the movement that I need; Is what I'm doing *effective* at getting this movement? Or, over-effective? Or, under-effective? And, Am I being *considerate* of my horses needs today? These things help me a lot!

3-30@5:44am yesterday's video during questions the last question was for dressage... When he's talking about the inside leg forward and the outside leg back when turning is that with or without pressure on the horse's body? I thought pressure up front was to move the shoulder away and pressure in the back to make the hind move away; that would be opposite what he's describing and now I'm confused.

@@clmcintify no offense, but you really should ask him. Any input from me might confuse things.

[@ArtOfTheHorseman]

That makes sense, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@daniellefuller3741]

​@@clmcintifyI think of it a hold, not so much pressure. More like your blocking movement in that direction
