Today I'm working with Lisa Gentile on improving her horse's lope.

Posture and Body Position in the Lope:
- SIT UP STRAIGHT: leaning to the inside will make the horse lean, and will shove them to the outside of the circle
- LOOK UP: looking where you are going will make you sit deeper in the saddle, and will guide the horse where you want to go

Getting the Horse in Position:
- Push the hip to the inside of the circle to encourage the horse to get on the correct lead
- At this stage in training, don't hold onto a frame and babysit the horse, but start to let go, and just use the reins as needed to get the horse better set up

Lope Departures:
- Set the horse's hip slightly into the circle
- Sit deep and drive forward
- Keep the face soft
- When you push, if the horse throws her head up, really push with your legs until she comes back soft
- When she gives you a few strides soft, come back and do it again

I hope you enjoyed this episode with Lisa! Until next time, may God bless the trails you ride!
