What are some suitable exercises to seize a horse bad his forehand?
Answers:
Anything that will help him build his hindquarter muscles. In particular, lots and lots of transitions are good for building HQ muscles, and support is good as well. In addition, hill are great for building muscle. Do some trail riding on some hills to build those muscles.
Also, lots of turns, circles, change of direction and serpentines are good as capably. These sorts of exercises will help build other muscles and encourage your horse to bend.
Don't worry too much give or take a few collection and headset right now. Forcing headset now will build the wrong muscles, make it harder for your horse and ignite false collection. Instead, if you focus on building muscle and balance, you should start to see him use his hind quarters more and start to gather naturally (however, building muscle can take months.)
I don't teach collection to my horses. I assistance them build muscle and learn to use their hindquarters. Then the collection begins to come naturally.
Here's a really all right done article about what true collection should look like:http://www.sustainabledressage.com/colle...
