Cowboy Dressage Square Dancing

This is a short video of a young horse in a square pen, learning the aids (hands, legs and seat) with the help of the fence. When I ride my horse toward the (fence) wall, he is going to have a few choices, like stop, turn left, right, or back up. Lightness or soft feel is a result of correct timing, so I ride my horse’s leg leaving the ground rather than the one which is already landed.
I ask my horse to find my inside (rein) hand, with the help of my inside leg and let the fence be my outside (rein) hand and leg, and I keep riding forward.
Soft Feel is a result of Creation rather then Correction! Ride them rather then Guide them! Enjoy the Dance!
