39. Rider Coordination

Level: beginner

Benefits

This exercise makes riders pay attention to and readjust their bodies, both vital skills for dressage. It helps alleviate side dominance and postural habits such as collapsing a hip, dropping a shoulder, and the preference to ride one direction over the other.

Helpful Hint

It is helpful to have a checklist:

Are my shoulders parallel to my horse’s?

Am I following the exercise correctly?

Can I return to sitting jog softly without interrupting my horse’s rhythm?
