I’m trying to understand.Does this mean that the horse’s shoulder goes closer to the fence than it would if the horse was just going as it pleases? Is there a bend in the horse so that its head and neck are forward instead of canted to the outside? Please correct me if I misunderstand. Thank you very much for your reply.
My wife is the gait guru of the house but out riding right now so I will make a attempt to make this clearer try this: The objective is to have the horse travel straight but with a slight inward bend in the torso that results in three tracks with the outside fore and the outside rear tracking together.
Reading the article I see it says in one place “the inside fore tracking with the outside rear” this is a misprint and should be outside fore and outside rear track together. That will be corrected and maybe the source of your confusion. The eventual goal of this suppling exercise is the “shoulder in” where the shoulders are moved further inside. The purpose of both is to learn ways to straighten the horse without moving the hindquarters around.
