Beginning to Build an Adjustable Horse - Creating an Adjustable & Rideable Horse with Karl Cook

Karl Cook

In this lesson, Karl takes you through a practical application of his step-by-step plan. As you can see in this lesson, slow and progressive movement is key for allowing your horse to process and understand what you are asking.

Key Takeaways:

  • Remember that this is a process! Look for the small places where you can adjust your own cues and position for clearer communication, and for the small ways your horse is beginning to understand how to adjust.

  • Think of your collection and extension as going up and down the rungs of a ladder. Don't go straight from the top rung to the bottom – take the canter up and down one rung at a time in a progression.

  • Be sure to only ask for progression in adjustability at a rate that the horse is physically and mentally capable of.
