Heya everyone, I was just wondering who could possibly give me precise instructions on doing a leg yield? Sorry if this is just the most retarded question you have ever heard, because I'm quite clueless. ;]/D:

try and ask a trainer if you can, they can really help you with that. if you cant (or you can and just want more info) there are also some great articles in magazines and books that you could get lots of help from as well.

| Unfortionality a leg yeild along with some other latteral movements can not be learned from reading or looking at pictures of it. It take some skills, understanding, other eyes to make sure you are doing it properly and the horse is actually doing the movement properly. I have seen many who have tried ot read learn how it is done and it has always failed. they think hte horse is moving foward and sideways at hte same time with the proper cross over etc when in reality the horse is just going in a diagional direction with its front ( or hind end) and hte rest of hte body is not. I would sugest that you seek out someone how knows how to teach it along with 'ground work' ( as in foundation) is done. I could easily list the aids on how to execute it properly but with out the foundation of both horse and rider one of them will go Huh???

Thanks you guys! :D
Well, I do lessons once a week with an *amazing* trainer. [...She's amazing to me. XD]
But, I understand what you were saying about not being able to pick it up by reading it. I was just wondering if I could have a little advancement on the group in my lesson by already knowing how to do it if we learned it any time soon.
Anyways, I rambled a lot.. :| But I just wanted to get to the point that I thank you guys for the info. :]

No problem with understanding the theory behind something before putting it into practice. In fact, that's a very good way to learn.
I wrote something on leg-yielding a while ago, I'll see if I can find it.
Here: http://board.horsechannel.com/Topic293273-6-1.aspx?Highlight=TOF Scroll down, it's the second to last post.

Canny, as best I can transulate from your lack of spelling words out ( please do so in the future) you discribed a side pass not a leg yeild. side pass is a movement in which there is not foward along with latteral movement. Leg yeidl is moving foward along with side movement. Not just side movement. Which is why it is difficult if not close to impossible ot learn it by reading.

sorry for the bad spelling. i'm actually a spelling bee champ, but i hate typing out all the words. actually when i do these directions with my horse it works with a sidepass and leg yield. but these directions may not work with some horses i guess. usually it depends on how the horse is trained to do it.

Why do you hate actually spelling out words?
It doesn't take any extra time, and it makes it easier/much less annoying for everyone else.
