After our horse learned the basic aids on the longe, we start to introduce the work with the side movements, so that we are able to straighten the horse. 

We will speak about: the forward of the inside hind leg, the freedom of the outside shoulder, quarters-in on the longe, how much forward-down, straightening. 

On the longe, it is easier for us to work the young horse or the horse in its basic education in the higher gaits. However, we have to prepare our horse well because there is less direct support from us and the horse has to learn good self-carriage!

As usual, I will show videos with my horses and I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge, tips and tricks with you!
