Lovely teach! Loved when that first little girl loped off. She said she was scared and she did a great job.

Can you please explain what is meant when you say "check."

[@lorettapiscopo6882]

Can you please explain what is meant by "check release" and/or big breath out, check release and go back down to walk.".

[@K.Adler1120]

Check and release just means to stop or slow up, then to relax your hands back down to the riding position
