Riding Exercise~ Double Down

[kacypony]

Hello,
I thought I would share an exercise I use a lot in lessons. Use it so that changing posting diagonal gets easier. Loosens up the hips, helps with sitting trot if sitting trot is difficult for you, works on rhythm among other things. Hope you like the video. I will be filming more exercises to help the rider, as well as riding exercises for the horse. Let me know if you guys would like to see more. You can also check out my channel. I don't have too many exercises on their yet but plan on putting up more. Just a hobby of mine. Cheers Happy Riding!

Has anyone tried this exercise yet?

We used to do this in a RS i went to a few years back. I tried it the other day when i was out hacking after being reminded of it on here, I was shocked to find it a lot harder than what i remembered

I do it whenever I start on the wrong diagonal! I quite like it actually

I always do this about every 20 strides of trot when out hacking, to keep changing the diagonal.
