One of the most important things you can do to improve your riding is address stiffness in your body. It’s the root of many rider problems. If your back is overarched and stiff, you can sit on the saddle, but not “in” it—your body won’t move fluidly with your horse’s motion. Even worse, your hollow back will drive your seat bones down into your horse’s back, causing him to raise his head, hollow and stop pushing off his hind legs.
Similarly, stiff hands and arms can’t follow the horse’s mouth smoothly or apply aids in an effective manner. If your elbows are locked, for example, you’ll unconsciously tug on the bit every time you post. If your horse is wearing a non-jointed bit, he’ll feel these tugs on his tongue and the corners of his mouth. If he’s wearing a jointed bit, he will feel the tugs in those places, plus two even more sensitive places: the roof of his mouth and the bars (the gaps between his teeth). Depending on your horse’s sensitivity, this discomfort can make him tense, reluctant to go forward or heavy and unresponsive in the bridle.

🌟 Training leg yield 🌟
LEG YIELDING
Unlike in any other lateral movement, in the leg yield the horse remains straight in his body and neck, except for a slight flexion of the poll against the direction he is moving. While leg yielding doesn’t serve collection, it is still beneficial for teaching the young horse to move away from the inside leg and generally to acquaint him with the diagonal aids. It is also quite useful for a horse of any level to help him loosen up during the warm-up phase because the crossing of the hind legs allows the horse to give his back and come onto the bit.
Leg yielding is not a demanding movement, but like everything else, it needs to be well done and as always: less is more. So when you ride it, take care that the horse promptly moves away from the inside leg, shows a clear diagonal crossing, is forward enough and retains his rhythm. I personally do not like to ride leg yield or anything else with the head against the wall of the arena because this has a slowing down effect and no horse likes to go with his head against the wall. Leg yielding can be started from the track across the diagonal or from the centerline toward the track. When riding this movement with an inexperienced horse across the diagonal, you must only ask for steps that fulfill the requirements mentioned. Do not ask for these steps on a steep diagonal because it would mean a significant crossing, which might easily throw the youngster off balance.

🌟 Exercise of the week 🌟
Riding a three-loop serpentine can help your horse in many ways, including:
Suppleness: Helps your horse become more supple from left to right and right to left
Balance: Can improve your horse's balance and rhythm
Focus: Can help your horse focus on bending and the aids
Straightness: Can help improve your horse's straightness and bend
Lateral movement: Can help with lateral movement
Riding a three-loop serpentine can also help the rider improve their skills, such as changing their weight direction, where to put their inside leg, and changing from the inside leg to the outside rein.
A three-loop serpentine is a training aid that consists of three half 20 meter circles. When riding a three-loop serpentine, you should avoid riding straight lines or corners. You can also try variations, such as closing each loop into a circle, flexing your horse away from the direction it's working on, or incorporating transitions.
