I’ve been having trouble getting my horse to change leads, and sometimes he doesnt even pick up the right lead to start out with. What is the best/easiest way to train him to take the right lead? Also, on a slighly different note, what exersizes work well with horse riding? Like, what will build up the right muscles and stuff? I’ve been getting tired faster then I want to and I was wondering what I could do to get in better shape? Any ideas would be great!! Thanks so much!

Lead Changes. If it was me i wouldn’t worry much about teaching him lead changes, that will come easier after he has figured out the command to get the right lead. the best way to get him to get the right lead is to make sure you over exedurate the command. Make sure your outside leg is behind the girth and your inside leg at the girth. Also make sure he is bending to the inside not just with his head but with his whole body. It is best to ask on a corner that way his balance will be better if he picks up the right lead so he is more likely to.
About the exercises one of the best things you can do is to have good hand control. not for muscles but so that your had can be light and very still while riding. work on getting your left hand just as easy to use as you right. try writing left handed and things like that
Hope this Helps
