In this 5th installment of the Schooling a Green Horse for Polo series at pologringo.com, Christian works with Hanalei on her stops. This is perhaps the 10 to 14th time she has been ridden. Christian discusses the importance of recognizing problems quickly and addressing them immediately lest you unwittingly reinforce undesirable behaviors. Hanalei has begun to halt from voice command alone now: "Whoa, whoa, whoa" and she is beginning to understand directions from the leg. We see Christian and Hanalei work on halting from the walk, trot, and canter in this video as well.

This was great. I get what my dressage instructor has tried to describe in a visual now. I liked the commentary as the ride went along. Very helpful. Thanks.

these videos are really helpful - i have just bought a 3yo for polo, and I haven't had a young horse before! Do keep them coming - and the commentary is really good.
