Most riders give repeated leg aids that actually train the horse to be dead to their leg. If you have to kick to get each step of walk, how are you ever going to ride a canter pirouette? To be an effective rider, you have to believe that you have the right to be up there, being the brains of the rider/horse partnership, and being the leader your horse really needs. This requires self believe, good technique for giving a leg aid, a lot of conscious attention, and the ‘kick, don’t, don’t’ technique described here.
