Haunches In

I didn’t manage to get any videos today, but haunches in is an amazing exercise for horses of basically any training level! It is very helpful for both my second level dressage horse, and my very inexperienced pony. When done properly, the haunches in strengthens and gives control of different parts of the horses body. It makes the horse very light in the contact and encourages them to bend and hold themselves. People often forget this exercise, but it makes the leg yield, half pass, and eventually pirouette far easier. Make sure not to overuse this exercise on less muscled horses! Happy riding! 💕
