Thank you for the very interesting video! This is the first video of this series I have seen, so sorry if this was already addressed previously. But to me it looks like when she is walking away from the camera, the lower parts of her hind legs are kind of twisting/wobbling in all kinds of directions. Would you agree with this or is her movement normal?
Thank you for your kind comment and great question! Before starting my work with Sable she was vet-checked top to toe for any health issues and nothing came up in regards to her hind legs. That doesn't mean that there couldn't be something that hadn't been found yet but at the time of the video she was cleared for regular Dressage work. There are a number of reasons for this type of movement though and some horses are just moving like that due to their conformation.

Well done Sable is lucky to have you
Thank you so much for your kind comment! She is a remarkable horse and teacher... :)
