The Banana

 

While I was recovering from COVID, I found a great channel on YouTube called YourRidingSuccess, that has some really different ways of explaining dressage that have really resonated with me.  First up is the banana.  No one has EVER explained why and how to sit to the the inside of every bent line to allow the outside ribcage to lengthen.  This has worked fabulously for Cruise and I on everything from basic curved lines to lateral work.  It even fixed our trot to canter transition.  Check it out HERE.
