#TBT

We loved this video so much, we wanted to share it again for a #ThrowbackThursday! Enjoy this clip of JJ and Montana working together to maintain good communication through a proper connection.
This clip is a preview of one of the hundreds of lessons you can access through our online dressage academy, Team Tate Academy.

Hold onto your reins, this is THE video you didn’t know you needed to see! This clip is jam-packed with information, including a tutorial on how to correctly hold the reins and use our seat and position to create a kind and harmonious connection.
JJ and Montana demonstrate how the seat and rider’s position play a huge part in rein contact, and how important it is to understand and correctly use the 3 main aids with the reins, while reminding us that we only need our hands for 10% of our aiding system.

The horse looks so supple and relaxed, 'bouncing' along ❤

What would you suggest to help when I give the reins and my hose stretches down but always has to do a little yank at the end even though I’m at the end of the buckle , there’s no more for me to give? He does it at the stand still and the trot.
