You have to really slow everything down and show him clearly what you want. Then slowly add that in at faster paces. Pushing for "forward" just makes him more tense and tight. It's almost never the answer, despite every dressage person ever spouting it as the end-all of solutions. ;)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-82419443641216440722015-03-11T13:24:34.558-06:002015-03-11T13:24:34.558-06:00Yahoo papa!!

I learned how to do it at the walk as well. Great start. Now, wait until he's solid at it and you are going to find wonderful rewards when he jumps again.
