You can find the complete #AskIngrid episode at: https://blog.wehorse.com/frag-ingrid-... It's all about getting the horse attuned to subtle aids, or better: getting it used to them again. Here are Ingrid Klimke's key statements and key points: It's always up to the rider, not the horse! The rider must make the distribution of tasks clear right from the start. The rider's aids must convey: Horse, it's your job: you trot, I'll sit on top. An example: If the rider stops driving the horse in a gallop and the horse breaks into a trot, the rider should react immediately with the leg and reinforce this aid with a whip or spurs if necessary. Short, clear, precise and stop immediately when the horse reacts. Praise! The aim is for the horse to notice: "It's more pleasant to stay in a gallop."
