Lari Dee Guy takes the reins on Hope Thompson’s gelding, Ace, working on keeping him forward and engaged. Ace habitually drops his hind end in the box rather than driving forward, which can throw off a rider’s timing. Lari Dee keeps her hands and feet moving with him to maintain balance and responsiveness.
Even with this challenge, Ace reads calves well, stays fluid through the throw, and makes a quick, clean stop. Throughout the session, Lari Dee fine-tunes his responsiveness, ensuring he keeps his right hip up and stays loose.
