>>> Unlike the easier leg-yield, the horse is bent in the direction of travel, slightly around the rider's inside leg.
I have been surprised how rarely anyone I've encountered with Icelandic's has talked about leg-yield, but how often I've hear trainers talking about getting the horses to do half-pass or shoulder-in. I have taught most of my horses to leg-yield, but not many pleasure horses I know are really prepared to do an actual half-pass or shoulder-in. It takes time for the horse - and the rider - to get conditioned and learn to do either of them correctly. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
