On The Aids For Show Jumping | Leslie Law | PART 05
17m
Part 5: Leslie takes to the saddle to help a rider whose horse drags her down on the way to the fences. He explains how he bumps the horse's head up on the flat, and then gives and softens as soon as he comes up. Leslie explains how he is being sure to give and stay light and in the rhythm with the horse to create softness and stop him from getting too round and deep in the bridle. He demonstrates how he is using his leg aides to move the horse's shoulders for more effective turns and straightness into the jump. By staying forward and not trying to fight the horse by falling back, Leslie demonstrates how much softer and happier he can be on the approach to take off.
