Summary: Learn about bending the horse - free horseback riding lesson on video.
" My name is Sarah Stetner; I'm an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you I just got up on the horse so before we start I like to do a little thing called bending. It stretches out my horses neck. Get him all limbered up. Just pull your inside rein around. Get him to touch all the way as much as you can to the stirrup. Also shows how flexible he is. Once you get done with that way you do it about 4 times I do. You go ahead and do it the other side. You make sure that the outside rein is loose. You pull this inside rein tight and you are kind of using your inside leg to push his inside hip out and you are also kind of making I guess you could say pushing your outside leg around to. Putting pressure on t hat to make him go around your inside leg. You want him to bend around. Which he is doing a really good job here. So this is how you bend you horse in order to flexibility and get him to stretch out in his neck."
