Flatwork Training For Showjumping
From The British Showjumping Video
Leg Yield Along The Wall
Shorten the inside rein so that the riders elbow does not come behind the hip
The Shoulders upright, yet relaxed. This stops the rider from crossing the hand over the wither
It must remain soft and encourage soft flection into the bend
The outside rein balances and limits the bend at the base of the neck
The outside leg is just on the girth
The rider looking forward
Open the inside hip and touch the inside leg just behind the girth, without lifting and pulling the heel back, allowing the inside knee to pull away slightly from the saddle
The rider is sitting to the inside but not leaning their upper body
The horse should move away from the touch of the leg but remain relatively straight in his body
You will see a slight flection at the poll to the inside, away from the direction of the movement
The inside hind leg steps forward and across in front of the outside hind
The outside fore steps forward and the regularity of the steps should be maintained
