Grace Kay working with Stefan Wolff on warming up the young horse: \u201cGet her to stretch. You don\u2019t have to always let the stretch go through, it\u2019s more that they offer the stretch and that in itself helps the back. Sometimes pat them after the whip so they know it\u2019s normal.\u00a0\u2018I\u2019m not punishing you I\u2019m just trying to help your back.\u2019<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you use the whip now, find the movement where it\u2019s easy for her to swing through your leg to the hand and soften the back. Sometimes they don\u2019t know what to do with the energy created by the whip, that\u2019s why they kick out. Can you see then she also reacted with the front leg? That\u2019s good. The whole body should react. When you have a good reaction from the horse, always make them confident with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRide some 20 metre trot circles and five loop serpentines and look for the same quality through both reins. Just think of flexion as the giving in the inside gullet, not that it moves a lot sideways. It\u2019s quality not quantity.\u201d<\/p>\n
