Leg Yield Exercises to Try When You Ride

Leg yield is a useful exercise to include in your schooling programme at different stages of your horse's training.

In these two videos I look at what your horse needs to understand when you introduce leg yield, different ways you can ride the exercise and how you can develop the quality of the movement as you progress.

In Part One, I look at introducing the exercise and helping you and your horse understand what you are aiming for. In Part Two, I look at different ways to ride leg yield and what I look for when the movement appears in a dressage test.
