Welcome to our second bonus video episode of the OTTB Training Diaries! In this video, we continue working with our Thoroughbred, Oscar (“Go Green”), focusing on steering and leg aids through a spiral exercise. We set up poles to create a 10-meter circle boundary and ask Niamh to guide Oscar in gentle spirals both inside and outside of the poles. This exercise helps him learn how to respond to the rider’s leg and develop better steering in both directions—an essential step for any green OTTB.
