Get Her Back
Posted by admin on Saturday Oct 24, 2009 Under Get Him Back.....Forever!
My paint horse is built slightly downhill and is heavy on her front end. How do I get her to use her back end?
I am using her for hunter/jumper. She comes off the jumps very heavy on her front. She also is having trouble with lead changes. What exercises can I do to use her back end more? Thanks
take her into a field with lots of gradual hills
trot her down the hill, stop her, and ask her to back the whole way up the hill. it will build muscles in her rear end and teach her balance.
make sure when you are backing her she is keeping her neck round. if her head is in the air or flat on the ground this exercise is worthless because she won’t be using her rear and back properly.
also try and half halt before and after the jumps (and around turns too) to help keep her light and balanced.
another thing to do is ride her up and over a small (18 inch) X let her trot/canter for about 5 strides afterward then stop and back her until her hocks touch the jump. (same thing goes for her head carriage)
if this doesn’t work take a few lessons with a dressage teacher and they will help you lighten up your horse.
