Using the leg to to improve contact in the hand | Jan Bemelmans | PART 02
Rider Position and Aids

13m
We join Jan Bemelmans in this schooling session already in progress. They make sure the horse is in front of the leg and that he is supporting with the inside leg in the half pass. They perform a great line of twos and then ones before taking a break with a canter on a long rein. As he begins his trot work, Jan asks him to com over and shorten his stirrups a hole, explaining how this will help his sitting. They talk about his seat and how it affects the ride. Jan has him show him his piaffe and passage, and points out he needs better connection from the hindquarters to the rein.
