Here are some great ways to ask your horse for a lope or canter Authentic Darian Thompson Jersey , and to pick up the correct lead.
Hips-In. This is a good preparatory exercise for teaching flying lead changes. Begin by trotting a figure 8. Push the horse’s hips into the circle. Switch leads on the straight, center portion of the figure 8. Advance to the lope, using hips-in to pick up the correct lead.
Reverse Arc. Trot a circle and alternate between the reverse-arc circle and a nose-in (normal) circle. Do the reverse arc in a figure 8. Each time you reach the straightaway, release the reverse arc. As you release Authentic Sterling Shepard Jersey , your horse will be ready to pick up the opposite lead.
Backing Up. Back your horse on an angle. If your are backing with the left rein, ask for a lope on the left lead.
Diagonal. Trot a straight line and do a diagonal to the right. If you push the left shoulder to the right, pick up the left lead. Lope a few strides and break down into a diagonal to the left at a trot by moving the right shoulder before picking up the right lead.
On the Rail. In this exercise, use the rail as a guide. When you apply counter pressure (toward the rail) Authentic Eli Apple Jersey , ask for the lead away from the rail. It’s important to maintain your leg pressure until the horse picks up the lead on both the hindquarter and front end.
Lead Departures. Whatever method you choose to pick up the correct lead, your horse must have a soft nose and be moving in a collected frame. Here are four examples of lead departures: 1. From a diagonal to the right, pick up the left lead as the horse slows down and you elevate his shoulders. Break down to an extended trot then repeat by doing the other diagonal and opposite lead departure.
2. Ask for hips-in to the left, then pick up the left lead and lope a circle. Stop Authentic Wayne Gallman Jersey , ask for hips-in to the right and pick up the right lead. Lope a circle, stop and repeat.
3. The rollback is perhaps the easiest way to get your horse to pick up the correct lead. Lope a straight line and lift the front end as you stop. Back up a few steps, then rollback and lope off. When doing a rollback to the right, pick up the right lead; conversely when doing a rollback to the left Authentic Davis Webb Jersey , pick up the left lead. If your horse doesn’t pick up the correct lead, stop and back up, then try again. It’s important to lift the horse’s shoulders throughout the stop and rollback to lighten his front end.
4. Sidepass away from the desired lead, ask the for the lead and lope. After a few strides Authentic Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , stop and sidepass to the other side and ask for the opposite lead. If the horse picks up the incorrect lead, stop immediately, sidepass and ask again.

LUSAKA, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's premier Leather Expo being held in Lusaka, the country's capital, will result in the unlocking of the country's textile sector, organizers said on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Zambia's Vice-President Inonge Wina said the government was eager to support the growth of non-traditional exports such as leather and textile products.
The expo, which runs from Dec 12 to 16 at the Mulungushi International Conference Center, is being attended by players in the leather and textile sectors from across the country.
"The expo dubbed, 'Enhancing Competitiveness of the Leather and Textile Sectors through Value Addition' is aimed at building trade capacity of small and medium enterprises in the leather and textile industries in order to increase production, improve product recognition and increase sales," Godfrida Chana, public relations officer at the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry said in a statement.
She added that unlocking the sector would be a major force in the development efforts of the government as it was one of the key sectors within the national industrialization and job creation strategy.
She however expressed concern that despite the potential the sector has, it has continued to face a number of challenges such as inadequate institutional support for products development and value addition, lack of technical skills to produce quality products and that enterprises were lacking in market information and on how to penetrate new markets.
Meanwhile, the Zambian vice-president said the government was eager to support non-traditional exports by encouraging value addition.
She said the government has identified the leather and textile as one area to boost export products and has since urged enterprises to ensure they produced quality products.
She said dependence on traditional exports such as copper has been putting Zambia in awkward situations each time prices on the international market tumbled.
According to figures, the leather and textile sector earned 13.08 million U.S. dollars in 2015, a drop of 76.32 percent compared to the previous year when it earned 55.2 million dollars.
On the other hand, the sector made a marginal contribution of 0.7 percent to the total non-traditional export earnings in 2015.
