BEYOND LATERAL WORK

In this photo, Manolo is working with Dinamico on Spanish Walk, an exercise that requires balance and free shoulders as well as engagement, to be correct and beneficial. Like an artist, we are constantly refining our aids, refining our balance and that of our horse. We want his carriage to stem from within. It is a slow process, only time will build the right muscles and the right understanding, and the horse’s desire. This exercise will benefit his extended work. 1 8.
