Here is DL’s warm up routine. This is only meant as a training video.
The warm up doesn’t change very much. Nick is not telling me to do too much because I needed to get the warm up on my own. What we are checking is whether the horse is responsive to the leg, whether he is, connected and through, and what are my transitions are like both direction in the trot and the canter. This warm up should not change no matter what horse you have or what level. Everything is based on the basics. The key is to feel the transitions, to make sure the horse is connected an coming over his back, through his neck and if she/he is responsive to the leg. Once you have this warm up it should work on every horse no matter what level! Check us out at www.maneimports.com
