BTB: Canter cutie! Riley counter canters and starts walk-canter transitions

Canter cutie! Riley counter canters and starts walk-canter transitions Posted: 12 Sep 2010 02:05 PM PDT Devon here we come -- the canter is really shaping up. There is a huge hill on the barn property -- back in the day, big name eventers did conditioning up this hill. Riley is being worked on this hill too. My trainer's  trainer, Felicitas Von Neumann, was on the cover of  Dressage Today when she wrote about the value of hill work. You'll notice a few corrective moments. Riley has a habit of throwing his haunches to the right, during transitions especially. It can sometimes be corrected with a light aid, but occasionally his hind end will swing out in what looks like an act of defiance. When that happens, the trainer's correction is a little more emphatic.
