Thank you for this interesting video, i must try it with my mare!💜
Love your explanation of each exercise in all your videos, position, purpose, which muscles it is activating, & also how not to do it. Thank you for all you are doing to help so many horses by sharing your expertise:)

Thank you for your kind words!
Can you explain why we do not want the horse’s inside hind stepping under but instead tracking up to inside front? The in-hand instruction I’ve been given has been to encourage the inside hind to step more under midline.

we DO want the horse's inside hind leg to step towards midline, but NOT to cross over the outside hind leg. We don't want the hips to swing outward.

This exercise would also serve for the decompensation of the left glute, how many circles do you do? It can also be done in straight line. Thank you.

General rule of thumb is 3 to 6 circles each direction
