Part 3: Allison works with the riders to establish a consistent contact that the horses can rely on and be confident in. They focus on still hands and soft elbows to create this at the trot. Allison reminds the group of the power of asking the horses simple, deliberate questions that they are able to answer, as a tool to build confidence and help with nerves. They practice a simple turn on the forehand, with a focus on pressure and release and clear body language and aides.
