I have training tomorrow and I’m training for the training it’s so hard when you go up and down with the rhythm of the horse but thank you for the help

Very well explained. I love your videos, you have a wonderful way of breaking things down into an easy way to understand.

Timing of the aids is one of the most ill addressed (if at all) taught . It is just as important if not more important than the aids themselves!

[@besitosxo]

Can you address in writing when to ask for transitions both up and down to and from each gait? Ie when to ask for the trot from the walk, or canter to the trot?

[@susanrainville5978]

Yes, you can find explanations of that in my videos in the Free Training Series. I have written notes for each of those videos on my website www.whitesprucfarms.com.
