My online intensive seminar: http://bit.ly/y38_online_intensivseminar I would like to explain to you today why you work a lot on small circles in liberty dressage. For me, the tight circles are important in liberty dressage. Of course, a horse has to be well prepared and trained for this - the age of the horse also plays a role. You have to slowly work your way into the small circles. You have to work your way through the small circles - first on the large circle, then gradually move on. I also do a lot of transitions: walk - trot - canter - trot. The horse can't just walk around you, it also has to be worked and build up muscles. Small circles require strength. At the beginning I start with 10 minutes and then I increase it slowly. I see how long my horse can keep its balance and then I build in a transition. It's important to maintain concentration! With Sasou it took a year before I could work on a circle like that. He then walked nicely and had good back muscles. It's also important that a horse canters around you loosely - that's the basis of free work!
