Good reminder! We've been off for a couple of months and just started back in-hand exercises. Definitely adding this one for today. Amelia, as always, quality and relevant. Thank you!

Hello Amelia! As always,..thank you for your kind voice and detailed examples in this video. It helped me immensely! I do have a question regarding the groundwork though. Yes, we cue with the whip or knuckles where the leg will be cueing; however, the wrist flexion you stated does not quite hit home yet. Am I to assume we just mimic the way the reins would be held in saddle here? Meaning, when I press with my left leg for the horse to cross over towards the left, the left rein is snug to the neck while the right rein(direction of travel) is loosed and pulled to the left?

Yes you have got it!

How much can the shoulder lead when you are first teaching the leg yield? Some people talk about “big sloppy” leg yields where the shoulder leads A LOT. I’ve done this with my older more advanced horse when I need to get him moving more forward before switching to the more correct parallel to the wall leg yield. But, if I am initially training the leg yield with my youngster, will that confuse him or teach him a bad habit?

Sometimes it can be helpful to understand that you want them to move over! Then introduce it correctly gradually!
