Warming Up Your Horse
Episode summary
In this episode, Traci and Carleton Brooks demonstrate the proper way to warm up your horse before a lesson.
Listen as they explain how they get up of the saddle and let their horse jog and stretch. They do some figure eights so that they’re working in both directions.
Before working your horse, you always want to make sure your horse is nice and loose, comfortable and feel for any issues that the horse might be having that day.
Watch as Carleton performs various flat work techniques.
