RE: [RC] [RC] tripping - Alison Farrin

Basic dressage training and collecting the horse so it moves from back to front 
and less on the forehand.  Caution!  This takes Time!  Cranking in the head 
will not fix the problem.  In addition, keeping her attention focused on you 
with continuing requests to "do something" whether it be leg yield, change of 
direction, or just shortening and lengthening within the gait you are moving 
at.  All of these things cause her to pay more attention to where her body is 
and what she is doing.

'Ground poles are a real good idea.

      I've been searching the RC archives, but am not finding the information 
I'm looking for. Here's my situation:  I have a Mustang mare who trips on 
occasion.  She's never fallen to her knees, but I've only been riding her 
about 6 months.  She does it not only with a rider on her, but without a 
saddle longing in the round pen.  From what I can see, she just doesn't 
pick up her front feet enough (like it's her way of going).  A friend even 
commented once while we were trotting in some fairly deep sand that she 
wouldn't have to work so hard if she pick up her feet more (she's a bit 
lazy).
      From the archives, I know that things that could be causing it are 
incorrect trimming/shoeing, poor saddle fit, and things like EPM.  Assuming 
I can rule all these things out, are there exercises I can do to make her 
aware that she needs to lift her feet a little more?  Ground poles?    
Thanks for any ideas.....

Dede
