SAVANNAH
SESSION 13 – LATERAL WORK
Claire has had a couple of weeks off so Ali looks at where Claire and Savannah are at and gets them going again!
In groundwork, Claire practices quarters towards the handler and leg yield. They then look at transferring this into leg yield in walk and trot in ridden work. Ali helps Claire to make Savannah more reactive to Claire's leg to ensure she takes bigger sideways steps in leg yield. Claire focuses on staying central in leg yield, checking the 'levelness of her bar' and slowing Savannah's trot to get good sideways steps.
At the end of the session, they have a quick look at canter with Claire keeping her hands up and bottom down. Ali helps Claire to be more organised in the downward transition from canter to trot.
Apologies for the sound quality in this session. You will get an idea of the level of background noise and why the session had to be paused halfway through!
