Think outside the box! The trail is a great place to practice counter canter. Horses can see where they are going and can organize themselves. They are often more relaxed and more inspired.. and don’t feel trapped by the arena.
The Dressage Naturally Video Classroom is a great place for more “outside the box” concepts and exercises. Link in bio.
