Hi Dísa I would love to see a new video of Kalsi and you

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

Can they be ridden bareback in the outdoor arena?

Love your videos, Disa! Basics are always relevant. 😄 I think you're waking him up, into a more responsive fellow. Many excellent tips, techniques about the topline! Thank you.

Thank you Disa. Love seeing the progress in Kalsi - you make it look so easy. ⭐ Could you pls explain in more detail how you "get their shoulder"? How do you teach a young or inexperienced horse to leg yield; what aids/cues do you use specifically, for example when Kalsi doesn't understand and stands still, before he then gets it and crosses over a few steps? Thank you 🙏

Hi and thanks for your feedback! I usually start from the ground.. Applying some "tickling" cues on shoulder and front part of ribcage as limiting the forward movement, having slight bend towards me.. If needed you can use a fence to help you with the "limiting forward movement ".. Reward with dropping all cues and praising as soon as rhe horse even shifts weight the way you ask... Also then if lifting leg.. Building up to crossing over. From saddle, similar.. Light cue, use tickling whip if needed.. Limit forward possibility.. Reward anything in the direction of what you want... Don't ask for a whole step at first! Best of luck!
