Question # 188: I have a student who has a hard time seeing her leads while on the horse. I've tried to have her watch the front leading leg to see what lead it is, but she says she cannot see the legs at all.
Her horse does have rather large shoulders, but I don't think it's to the point that it would be impossible to see the legs. Part of the issue is as of right now, her horse only picks up the left lead no matter which direction we're going. Since she can't see the leads, she can't tell. We've also started focusing on watching other horses while on the ground to have her see which lead they're on, and we're making progress here. My next step is to put her on a lunge line and have her focus on just even seeing the front legs at all gaits, but I was wondering if you had any other suggestions/exercises? Thanks! (Kayla)
