Both legs in a neutral position (neither forward nor back), applying equal pressure against the horse's sides, generally asks for an increase in speed or an upward transition (such as walk to trot). Depending on the level of restraining aids (seat and hands), the leg can also ask for an increase in impulsion, for collection, or even for the rein back.
Both legs positioned symmetrically (neither forward nor backward), applying equal pressure against the horse's sides, often requires a speed increase or an upward transition (like walk to trot). The level of restraining aids (seat and hands) can also command more impulsion, collection, or even rein back.
