Warming up for a rounder outline
If you are having trouble warming up in a round enough outline, after your initial walk. Star trot work on a 10 metre circle making 3 or 4 before moving on, in a straight line with the outside rein steadily closed. Repeat the circles again in sitting trot as it is really necessary that you keep your balance. Do this on the left rein first and then change direction. Your outside support rein works with the closed inside leg on the girth. You should feel that the horse is bending himself around the leg, the forehand a little inward and the hind leg inward. Continue into riding a very small angled shoulder in on both sides.
Rider exercise. Ride the above with your Left foot out of the stirrup iron. Firstly just let your leg hang loosely and when you start to sit then bend the knee slightly forward.
