Ashley works Kid through different warmup exercises she uses to focus on softness and responsiveness and stops in a snaffle. She also talks about how she likes to use the pasture to teach her horses to long trot and lope out freely. Ashley later talks through correcting a horse who wants to get tight and drop their shoulders while going around the barrels.
