The Dressage aids explained and how to improve your position. This video is funded by my wonderful "Patrons". If you would like to join up, please scroll to the bottom of this description for the "Patreon" link.
This video is to explain the use of the extra Dressage aids that riders often forget. These aids include the core, belly-button, thigh, and chest. I have produced a video that just covers the hands and the many different ways to use them. The link to this video is • How to use your hands ...
This video also gives you two exercises to improve your position. Standing in your stirrups helps the rider balance down into the leg and gain a softer seat and a more effective leg position. Sitting to the trot is hard work on most horses and it is fabulous to engage the core of the rider. I recommend every Dressage rider practice sitting trot every schooling for short spells being able to build them up gradually.
