Fun bareback exercises

Ride with the reins in one hand and swap hands now and then. It is a brilliant exercise for your balance. Picture a line of cones and ride a slalom around them. Try to turn with the reins in one hand. Turn by adding a little pressure with your outside thigh, and look straight ahead. Try to feel that you are sitting centrally, in good balance.

Practise transitions too, and keep the hand holding the rein slightly in front of you, with your elbows softly bent. 🐴😊
