Haunches-In
This week I wanted to make a video on a movement that is the butt of many rider frustrations, it’s haunches-in...(terrible pun intended! 🙊). Haunches-in is a difficult movement and I often find myself struggling with it, so this week I want to share some helpful ways of introducing it to you and your horse.
Firstly, your horse needs to have a very clear understanding of leg yield. I like to start with the head to the wall leg-yield at walk.
Come across the short side of the arena and cut the corner at a 45-degree angle, then start leg yielding at that angle up the long side with the neck flexed slightly to the rail (so if moving right, flex left.)
To turn this into haunches-in, we just need to change the bend!
Use the right rein to flex left
Bend the body around the right leg at the girth
Sit on the right seat bone
The leg yield with the head to the wall helps you get the correct angle.
(We want to see 4 tracks in haunches-in. )
Once you’ve mastered it at the walk, move up to the trot.
Another way to introduce haunches-in is with the 10m circle.
Make a 10m circle off the rail to establish the correct bend.
On the last quarter of the circle, keep your outside leg on and don't allow the haunches to go back to the rail. This will set you up for the haunches-in.
Some important points to remember!
Once you get some good steps, praise your horse and give him a break
Make sure you stay sitting on the inside seat bone (the one directing the bend)
Haunches-in is like yoga for horses as they’re moving their bodies in a new way so be sure to teach it in bite-sized increments and give lots of breaks and praise, (this can’t be overstated!)
Always straighten before the corner as you don’t want them to go through the corner in haunches-in.
Make sure that you leave time in your session to let your horse go forward after the lateral work and to stretch out properly.

Thank you for explaining this so so well! Seatbone, leg position, tracking.... you spell it out so clearly. It took me forever to get 10 walking strides of shoulder-in on my old man (21 years, gaited.. 6 gaits!) BUT we did it with your guidance, spelling it out step by step. You have a gift! I'm sure many horses appreciate you as much or more than their owners 😉
Beautiful. Good reminder about stretching afterwards.
This is so helpful! I just started working on this using both of these methods but this just adds so much clarity. Thank you!! You have such a gift of communicating these tricky movements in a way that's easy to understand. This gives me confidence that I'm doing things correctly.
Haunches-in 4 track after establishing bend with a 3 track shoulder-in. Yay for setting up the half-pass. Get supple with leg yielding, then introduce the bend. Thanks Amelia
Amazingly clear instructions. You have a gift Amelia!
Super good tip to do out of the circle!
I find left haunches in harder on most of the horses .I have one horse,as soon as I change the bend from leg yield,gets very comfused. Thank you for the clearly explaned video.I think I will try better leg yielding and circles between.
OMDog!!! Haunches in was a fight for a year with my clunker! Her ribs are so sprung from foals, AND no one home in the caboose, it was so frustrating for both of us. Kept at it one or two steps at a time, out of a 10M circle and she now understands. I usually have to give her a light touch on the HQ with the whip and then she's like, Oh. You mean the HQ. LOL

haha sometimes it doesn't take much for it to click!
As I said before you are so clear and your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much!
My vet recommended haunches in to improve my horses suppleness. you’ve made this comprehensible 😅 thank you!
Helpful approach!
I love both these exercises! I probably use the 10 meter circle more! It's just easier for me! Thanks for another great video!
You are truly a great teacher. Thank you.
Terrific tips and exercises AGAIN, thank you! Left is the harder side.
Keep up the excellent work!
You are a gift 💝 thank you
The ABS on that horse 💪🏾💪🏾😍 thanks for the video !
I can’t get through to getting my horse to do! Will try your leg yield tip!

You're welcome
My guy KNOWS haunches in. But the last two rides, as I ask for more, I get a canter depart! And I have no idea what I am doing wrong! All suggestions welcome. (and it seems to involve my inside leg NOT my outside leg.....)

Be sure your seat stays in the motion of the current gait. That will help prevent the transition to canter :)
I have a warmblood called mossy i’m going to elementary do you have to put get the horses in in elementary level? Amelia
Super instructions - thanks ! Just a question - Can you do it at the rising trot ?

You could, but it would be much harder to use your seat to help with the aids
Hello Amelia, I am practicing already hece uans weeks the supports since the cessions to the step and the trot we already have them controlled, what happens to me with the supports is that I stop the horse feels confused stops and starts walking backwards, I do what you do in the video in both ways I know that it is slow to learn and difficult but I need some advice. Thank you.

@@AmeliaNewcombDressage When I do the exercise in the two ways you explain in your video it's like it gets confused and doesn't go forward and stops and goes backwards.
When and why would you start to introduce haunches in?

It comes in at second level and we use it as another tool to teach our horse to straighten.
