Stolen from Amy Blout Dressage. Sharing is caring π
This exercise come courtesy of the British Dressage National Convention.
The poles are positioned over the centre line and walked out 5 metres in each direction.
There is so much you can do here -
πTrot around the square, working on your Rhythm and Suppleness.
πTrot inside the square seeing if you can maintain everything you had on the outside.
πRide straight out of the square down the quarter line making sure you can ride the outside as well as the inside!
πGive it ago in canter - same exercise!
πCan you get in and out of the square without changing anything?
πIf your feeling really adventurous pop you reins in to your outside hand whilst centering the inside the square - can you stay in the square?
ββDon't forget about you too! Remember to look ahead, and check in with your seat bones, make sure you are sitting as central as possible, and that your shoulders reflect the horses, which in turn reflect the circle line.ββ
Happy playing!!
