@tigerlilyxo93 Hi Savannah - We train all the horses to work off of the rider's body not the hands. First teach your gelding be soft and give to pressure. Then have him bend that ribcage and frame up off your leg. Inside leg at the girth, outside behind the girth keeping those hindquarters from drifting out. Make sure you keep your eyes and upper body moving around the circle so he doesn't head off the circle and lose frame. Bottom line - ride with your body not your hands. It's really fun!
