Flying Changes

So flying changes, interesting wee things that Blue actually has a nack for. Strange weirdo horse. He obviously isn't a dressage horse and I am defo not a dressage rider, the only thing I could do was leg yielding. I might try this with Blue but meh cannni be bothered.

So for you guys who don't know what a flying change is, it is when a Horse changes leg during a canter. Some can get there horse into a canter that every stride they change leg. It is a little more standard to be asked for one flying change in one go when changing rein, for example, doing a figure of eight, in a dressage test. It can be handy for the jumping ring as well, if you don't land on the right leg after the jump you can do a flying change on the turn for your next jump.

I'm thinking that the only way this 'talent' of Blue's is going to be used is in the jumping ring and we will soon see. Maybe at the yard in summer we will see this all in action. Blue can do it loose and ridden, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could do it in the ring, fingers crossed.
