Hello everybody,
I have a dressage show coming up and I have a problem that unfortunately just flared up. Isabel always falls into her circle and leans against my inside leg. It's really annoying and I have to kick her really hard with my inside leg and slap my crop on her inside shoulder, which stops her falling in the for the moment, but makes her throw her head in the air.
Does anyone have another idea of how to stop Isabel from doing this? And I already checked my seat, leg and rein pressure, and my head, but nothing seems to be wrong.
Please comment with your answers, I need them!
Thanks for your help!

Try putting all/most of your weight on your inside seatbone and use A LOT of inside leg (If she doesn't respond to it try bouncing your inside leg on her). Don't use too much outside rein but keep the contact. But keep a tighter contact on the inside rein though. What MIGHT work if she really isn't responding, is while using your leg/ seat (etc.) is checking your inside rein firmly straight up. Use a lot more leg when doing this. I have to do that sometimes with Kassian. Also a slap on the shoulder is good too :)
