Roll
Backs..........
|
When finishing the stop allow time for the horse to get
balanced again before asking for the roll back.
|
A good tip for this is to count at the end of the stop-- one
thousand one, one thousand two, then roll back.
|
Now, a good key for a nice roll back is to imagine you are
working a cow on a parallel line, You are moving with the cow and it stops
and goes the other way, this is where you have your slide stop... now the
cow has left and you are sitting still... you want to verbally say to
yourself "go catch the cow". The cow has left and is getting
away, this will cause you to follow through your roll back.
|
One important thing is although this is broken down into separate
parts, you want your roll back to be quick, relaxed, yet powerful. This
takes timing and body control on your horse.
