First Lesson / Lead Rein
Lead horse in
Mount up
Hold reins
Shorten and lengthen reins
Walk on
Learn school markers
Using legs
Stopping
Turning
Dismounting
Shortening & Lengthening
Work in in open order- both reins, walk, trot
Explain
- Shortening - horse shortens his stride, doesn't go slower, has more bounce and impulsion
- Lengthening - horse lengthens his stride, doesn't speed up, has longer and lower topline/outline
Both maintain same rhythm and tempo
Shortening - keep leg on and half halt down outside rein
Lengthening - allow horse to move forwards using impulsion, give slightly for horse to achieve lower topline, keep leg on
Shorten short side of school
Lengthen long side of school
Lengthen across long diagonals
3 or 5 trot poles over X school marker
Teaching - The Basics
Help on and sort out stirrups and girth
Have a lesson plan
Seat, position
Forwards into rising trot (sitting to rising) and vice versa
Show where to go on circles
Always forwards into walk, trot and canter (even if transition is a downwards one)
Outside shoulder is forwards as you rise
Keep stopping and changing the rein
Crossing stirrups over - cross right one first
Sit on three seatbones
Classical riding lines
- shoulder, hip, heel
- elbow, forearm, ringfinger, rein, bit
Look for
- rounded shoulders
- lower leg too far back/forward
- looking to where you want to go
Legs - stiff, griping, tension, lack of depth of seat, insecurity. Work without stirrups, opening of hip joint, heel to buttock. Toes - gateway, weight even across each foot
Hands - too high or too low. Third/bottom segment of finger. Imagination
Upper body - circling arms
