Jodie the Shire Horse practices manoeuvring in tight spaces - using the leg aids. This is part of her TREC training.  Asking your horse to trust you to rein-back and yield to pressure in tight spaces is a big ask for a horse. Steering your horse with your legs whilst going backwards is a big ask for the rider.  The co-ordination and 'feel' is takes a lot of practice and requires teamwork.  We are getting there slowly, but like any partnership, it takes time and patience.
