Meet Aleizshia, my newest mare in training. Aleizshia has been working on collection and body control these past couple days. Collection is important for a horse’s movement because it creates balance, strength, and control. When a horse is collected, they shift more of their weight onto their hindquarters instead of leaning on their front end. This engagement of the back legs acts like an engine, allowing the horse to move with more power while staying light in the front. As a result, their strides become more controlled and elevated rather than rushed or heavy. Collection also improves transitions, turns, and stops, making the horse more responsive and safer to ride. Overall, proper collection helps a horse move in a way that is both athletic and graceful.
Aleizshia will continue her career as an eventing horse as well as just an all around, shows, trails etc. Follow along to see her progress through the next 30 days!
