Backing Up, Backing Over, Backing Down

backing up backing over backing down balance
Some horses struggle at backing out of a trailer. Some horses have been taught to back up off tight reins, causing poor body balance and neck / back tension. Backing up is also something we always find in obstacle courses: backing around corners, backing up onto or over an obstacle. All these exercises support the horses body balance, confidence and ability to follow you and are important for every rider and horse. Join us going forward in an exploration of going backwards!
