Keep your horse honest. Sometimes I see new trainers who are trying to improve their horses but are making a common mistake. For example, they are doing four-tempis. After the second one, the horse starts to become crooked, he loses the canter or he’s running away or whatever, and the rider keeps going. Riders must learn to make a correction. Before doing the next change, you have to make your horse straight and balanced and help him with whatever is needed. Change the line, walk and go again. The rider has to react directly. Correct the mistake and then keep going. It’s not a punishment; it’s simply a necessary correction. You’ll see, after a while, that your horse will improve more than if you continue doing four-tempis in the wrong…
