Don’t Skip the Walk Work

The walk is one of the most valuable gaits for training. It gives both horse and rider time to feel through a movement, identify problem areas, and address them with clarity and patience. It’s also the ideal gait for developing suppleness and precision—don’t overlook its power in your daily work.

You know what I’ve never seen?

I’ve never seen someone who’s been to the NFR comment on someone’s Instagram post “critique”
