I find leg yielding out of the circle is really good - anything to get the inside hind leg stepping under and over as much as possible. Everything you are doing should do the trick though. |

StarSign RR Addict (2804) | i like poles. raised or flat in curves or different distances apart so they realy have to think. long and low. all the exercises you do try them in long and low. an instructer i had made me put my hands together and ride circles and serpentines with my legs seat weight body position etc. not sure if they 100% if they the kinda thing your looking for but might give you some stuff to play with.

jody111 RR Vice President (14338) | muahaha prada gets confused as with the between the leg one.... she tend to beg with the side stretches,
sounds like you have a lot of good exercises... prads is quite stiff on one side being a slightley older mare so with my instructor we do a lot of lateral stuff to open her up as well (Same sort of things you said) I am road riding alot and as we hae quiet can leg yeild and shoulder in along the road...
