Unsure but keen horse over fences
How does she feel when you ride dressage? Does she track straight when she goes forward and through turns? Does she pull to the right then as well?
Film yourself and look at how your horse moves straight ahead (inside the track) and through turns, and watch how you sit on a straight line and a bent line. It is easy for our weight to drift the way the horse is running. Through turns, we need to be able to sit centrally over the horse.
Work on finding your own centre and the horse's straightness. A good exercise is to ride a smaller square inside the track.
Feel for where your own seat is, look straight ahead, check that your hands are level, and that you have equal pressure in both stirrups. Ask someone to watch how you sit.
Imagine you are riding down a narrow corridor. In the corners of the small square, ride the turns "square" rather than as arcs. Sit centrally through the turn and turn using the outside aids (keep the aids as small as possible, and do not let your seat be disturbed when you apply any aid). Take care that the outside shoulder does not slip forward (a common fault). Let it go slowly through the turn so you and the horse can keep up. 😊🌸
If you have not already, have an equine therapist or similar go over the horse, to check whether she needs any extra help with her body.
