Free Sample Mini-ClipNew Video Tutorial - Owning the frame and poll for optimum stride and self carriage. - Catherine explains that she uses the leg yield in the warm up because it loosens up the shoulders so nicely. The goal is to get that outside shoulder to really reach forward and sideways. She then takes you through many frames and poll positions. Here she makes a strong point that one must understand; you always aim for your horses back and front legs to land where your horses nose is pointing...so if your riding behind the vertical you are more than likely restricting your horses stride.
