One of the biggest responsibilities of a coach is setting horse and rider up for success—not asking them to repeatedly struggle through an exercise that isn't working.
In this episode, I got through 3 exercises that I adapted on the fly to improve horse/rider comprehension from a recent summer clinic:
Leg Yield with a Spiral to teach the Leg Yield
TOF and TOH diamond to improve connection in Pirouettes
Carl's LY off the rail with added cones to encourage riders to feel the benefits rather than 'wait' for perfection
