We\u2019ve all experienced it : a canter that flattens as the session goes on, a horse leaning on the forehand, or rushing as soon as you try to rebalance. You try to fix it with your hands, but the result is often the same: loss of fluidity and a tense horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue doesn\u2019t always come from your aids, it often stems from a lack of vertical propulsion. For your horse to truly rebalance, they must learn to convert horizontal energy into upward lift. That\u2019s where cavaletti come into play, especially when paired with your sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomechanically, a horse that is unbalanced in the canter \u201cfalls\u201d onto the forehand. The hind legs stay out behind the body, pushing forward without actually carrying weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On your Equisense app, this imbalance shows up clearly in two key indicators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A drop in Impulsion (Rebond):<\/strong> An unstable Cadence:<\/strong> Working over cavaletti forces the horse to flex the joints (hips, stifles, hocks) and engage the hindquarters under the body to clear the poles. It\u2019s deep muscle strengthening, without the joint strain of traditional jumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The movement lacks elevation, and the strides become flat and ground-covering rather than springy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The horse rushes to avoid losing balance, increasing the number of strides per minute (bpm) without improving impulsion<\/strong> quality or power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
