To help develop the skill necessary for a good scissor. Lift the top leg toward the ceiling and lower. Do a stride swing to straddle side support on the horse. The front leg will come to rest on the horse with the rear leg lifted as high as possible.
Key points Having a good stride swing is essential to a good scissor.
A good conditioning drill for scissors is a side support leg lift. A false scissor is a scissor without bringing the rear leg forward, finishing in a rear straddle swing. Once this dril is performed adequately, a scissor is simply finishing the switch of the legs. Inc. All rights reserved.
