In this segment from the full educational video, Kyle Carter discusses how to introduce horses to ditches in the least stressful way possible. Carter has the riders approach a set of rails situated next to the ditch and then incrementally moves the rails over the ditch. Carter discusses that he isn’t necessarily going to nitpick straightness or the rider’s position as he simply wants the horse to move confidently over the ditch. He emphasizes giving the horse the same ride every time, not changing anything as they progress from the rails to the actual ditch. Click here to check out the full video.
