Your should have a steady, quiet leg that 'hangs' (not flops though) at your horses side and only apply your leg when you need it. If your leg is constantly 'on' you run the risk of making your horse dead to your leg and working a LOT harder than you have to.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Think of it as a kick sled: You push until you gain momentum and than stop pushing until you need to again. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Good Luck! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#panzita0 wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a habit of just letting my lower leg hang and only touching the horse when I need them to go forward which is bad on my part) #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Make sure that you're turning your knee away from the saddle by opening
your hips. Keep in mind that this will benefit your horse as
well, since pinching with your knees will hit against their shoulder
and restrict their movement.
