#70 How to stop a horse being strong or heavy

In this episode we are looking at strong horses that lean and get heavy. These are hard horses to ride, they hurt your arms, it can feel like they are always not where you want them to be and you dream of the day when your horse feels soft and elastic and easy to ride! In this weeks episode we tell you how you can get this with your horse. We look at the 4 most common reasons why horses get strong: rider position, unbalanced horse, lack of speed control and unsuppleness. We take you through how each one influences the contact as well as how you can fix it if you find you have this problem with your own horse.

We also talk a little bit about half halts. If you want to find out more about these you can take a look at
