"Leg yield is good If your horse's trot is choppy" But earlier you said in the prerequisites for leg yield that the horse needs to be "round, through and on the bit" On the face of it, and unless ive misunderstood something,, this seems logically circular.
Hey there! You miss heard me. I said "If you have a horse that is a little bit short and choppy in the trot, a leg yield is a really good exercise to teach your horse to take longer step and to get a little more expression and suspension in their strides" In other words, a leg yield will help a horse with a choppy trot become smoother and more comfortable to ride because it helps with connection. :)
Don't forget about your outside aids to control the shoulder! Try the leg yield staircase exercise, that is a great way to get some good steps, move forward, and then try again. Here's a video: amelianewcombdressage.com/dressage-training/the-leg-yield-staircase/
What do I do if my horse really gets behind the leg in the leg yield at the walk? We have great impulsion doing it at the trot but during the walk my horse gets sticky. Also, how do you go about leg yielding off of the rail to the middle?
How can I tell if his front and back leg are crossing over? I feel like his front leg is but I can’t tell about his back leg and I usually ride by myself.
As long as I can keep Chancey's shoulder in front of me, the leg yield is easier with his stiff side to the inside. Still having trouble on the hollow side because I have both the overbent neck on the inside to deal with and the outside shoulder rolling away!!

If the shoulder, not the neck, is moving/pushing too much what are a few ways I can fix it? Many thanks these videos are fantastic!

@AmeliaNewcombDressage thank you!!

Try doing a leg yield staircase! Alternate going forward a few strides then the leg yield
How can I tell if his front and back leg are crossing over? I feel like his front leg is but I can’t tell about his back leg and I usually ride by myself.
Set up your phone and film yourself it will help a lot!
Wow I cannot even see your leg go on. So good. I want that !!
What if your horse wants to lead with the shoulders and not step under behind?
Try doing a few legs of leg yield and a few legs of straight forward!
What happens when your body tilts without meaning to? What do i do? Lol I always end up tilting to the inside and i know its wrong.
Film yourself and watch it so you can catch your mistake!
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage oh good idea! it's so frustrating. lol I'm like "ooo we are going!" and then "aw, damn it."
Thank you very much for this video! Do I push with the inside leg on the girth or behind the girth?
At the girth!
As long as I can keep Chancey's shoulder in front of me, the leg yield is easier with his stiff side to the inside. Still having trouble on the hollow side because I have both the overbent neck on the inside to deal with and the outside shoulder rolling away!!
Great work and progress!
Thank you
Of course! Thanks for following along!
