Mette Larsen: How to Determine if Your Horse is in Front of the Leg

[@njwhite4927]

This is honestly the best explanation of how to accomplish it!! Thank you!

[@catrionaholyoake2892]

Very helpful explanation thankyou. Dont rush, take your time, allow the horse to stretch, dont nag use the whip to reinforce the leg on the shoulder, use transitions, allow breaks, expect good transition, dont over work yourself sit up and get the horse to work, older horses can take longer to warm up their joint and muscles.

I have a supertalented GP horse. His name is kurioso, A De Niro son and Rubinstein's grand son. He's so talented that he can do one-tempis in a figure 8. Yet he is lazy most times. Every now and then, he is a turbo horse, but I don't control the switch. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the help.

really great video, my horse takes some work to get "freely forward" -- but then also takes a bit of work to recycle that energy once he has it too. wonderful pointers all around

ha this was EXACTLY like my horse, right up until he threw in that perfect flying change

Bless you. I don't want to work harder than my horse

I'm confused about the markings on the horse - that can't be natural

[@noellefloyd_plus]

Hey Kristina! This is actually a type of body clip, not markings. In the winter some horses will get body clipped like this to prevent excess sweating when being worked, while also keeping the majority of their hair to stay warm. I hope this is helpful, let us know if you have any other questions!
