Susanne helps this rider first with her breathing, asking her to let a really deep warm breathe out with each exhale; a yoga breathe. This controlled breathing out gives the horse a lot of security. She continues with other breathing exercises, all of which help both the horse and rider relax.

The Rider's Seat: Day 2, Ride 3 | Sus...
Susanne works with a rider to lighten her seat on this young, very sensitive horse. They work on the up-up-sit in posting trot and again in canter. Horse and rider do part ways at one point, but the rider remounts and ends the session with a much quieter horse.
