This week, I will be giving you a few tips to help you work on your shoulder-in and haunches-in! These movements begin to show up at Second Level and they are difficult movements to train. It can be difficult to know if your angle is right and if your horse is creating the right number of tracks. When I practice these movements, I like to set up a camera in a corner of the arena so I can watch my ride later and check to see the quality of the movements. This is really helpful!
Here are a few tips for each movement.
Shoulder-in is a three track movement. Here's how to ride shoulder-in:
· Set your horse up in the corner by getting bend in the body
· Use your outside rein to take one step off the rail
Use your inside leg to keep the inside hind leg tracking down the rail
· Put slightly more weight on your inside seat bone
· Keep your angle steady (a human should fit between the rail and your horse’s shoulder)
Haunches-in is a four track movement. To ride haunches-in:
· Use your outside leg behind the girth to move the haunches inward
· Keep your horse’s shoulder and forehead pointing towards the corner
Be sure to keep more weight on the inside seat bone
· Straighten your horse before you reach the corner
· If you have a camera in the corner, you should see all four of your horse’s feet when you watch this movement
A great exercise to practice these movements is to ride the first half of the long side in shoulder-in, then ride a 10m circle when you reach E or B, and come out of the circle in haunches-in.
I hope these tips help you with your shoulder and haunches-in. If you are riding down the centerline this year, and would like more help getting ready, be sure to check out my competition courses!
Happy Riding!

It's super helpful for riders to learn these on a horse that knows shoulder-in and haunches-in already, if that is an option. It was much easier to train my young horse since I knew what the movements should feel like.
I agree! Teaching the young or green horse these movements from the ground is also helpful.
I wish I wish I could train with you!!! I love how you simplify the steps and make learning so much easier!!! And your horses always look so happy!!!
Thank you! Have you seen this free PDF on the Training Scale? This is how I plan my ride and teach my students! amelianewcombdressage.com/plan-your-ride-training-scale-pdf-o/
Such a great horse!
Always love the side by side with drone footage! Been working on these 2 moves alot as I get stronger! Thanks for the refresher! ❤🐎
So glad it helped you!
Here's me today learning haunches in is on four tracks. 🤯 Wonderful and timely video as Second Level is what we are working on, thank you!
This was extremely helpful thank you so much for always making these incredibly detailed videos! Also beautiful to watch
You're so welcome!
Thank u mam
Most welcome 😊
Super 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Interesting timing for you to post this. I'm nowhere near up to 2nd level, but I am helping to bring my boss's retired PSG horse back into light work. None of the lesson horses I ride know any lateral movements (we're literally teaching one leg yields now) so trying to learn these at the walk has been an interesting experience. I can see why it's so much easier to go into it at the trot. I know what they look like from an outside perspective, but not while on the horse itself. And when I've asked what the aids are, all I've been told is to put slightly more weight into my outside. It sounds like I'll need to get my instructor out to help teach me some of this stuff. I'm in no way planning on showing these movements, just trying to use them as suppling and strengthening to increase some fitness. Is it worth looking into the course if that's my goal, or am I better just sticking to your youtube videos?
Great question! While the second level course might be a good option, I have a lot of target specific workshops and other courses that might be more applicable (like the lateral workshop) you can check them out here: amelianewcombdressage.com/courses/ You might also enjoy this free PDF on the training scale amelianewcombdressage.com/plan-your-ride-training-scale-pdf-o/
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage Thank you! Would have to save up to afford one but definitely appreciate the recommendations. :)
Hello Amelia, I have a question. I always ride with short stirrup since I’m a beginner. But last time I ride with a long stirrup and it ended up with unbalanced feet. The right stirrup feels shorter. And I checked it and it’s same length. Later I asked someone and I was told maybe my right leg is longer than my left one. I want to hear from your opinion. 🍎 thanks
It could also be your saddle being crooked on your horse. Check your spinal alighnment with some photos is a good reflection/tool for self reflection
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage I tried again with long stirrup and it was same🌚
