What is reverse two tracking?

Two tracking is the western version of the leg yield in dressage. It is a lateral movement performed with the spine maintained in a straight line while the legs cross over to perform a diagonal movement The footfalls still land on two tracks just as they do in straight movement. Comparable dressage exercises such as shoulder in, for example, are performed on three tracks. I haven't heard it referred to as "reverse two track" before, but if I were guessing I would just assume that to mean a change of the direction of the diagonal. So if you are moving on a diagnonal path to the left, the reverse would be to move on a diagonal path to the right. In the video I'm posting, note that the horse begins leg yielding to the left, then reverses direction and leg yields to the right.

Two tracking is like side passing while moving forward. I teach the two track (leg yield) before working on side passing, since it is easier for young horses to move diagonally forward on two tracks than in a direct lateral line.

I found this instructional article written from the western style perspective on training the two track which is pretty well described................

this is like the most legit recent question. It deserves an answer. I just dont know what it is. Two tracking is a lateral movement by the horse. I do not know what reverse two tracking is except that maybe it would mean like the reverse rein... Ummm like if you were doing a lateral movement at which the horse bends toward the inside this might mean say moving laterally to the outside. grabbing at straws here sorry

Are you sure they didn't write renvers? Renvers is travelling at a bend, like two tracking (where the horse's fore and hind are not on the same line). All horses travelling correctly are actually two tracking, because they should be bent to go straight. renvers is basically bending the opposite way, so if you would normally bend the horse to make the shape of the circle, renvers is bending against the turn. Travelling haunches in is renvers.

Allow me to join in with the overwhelming chorus of people who are saying, "Huh?"

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. It always amazes me that all the people on this site who claim to be grand prix dressage riders and sought after instructor/trainers go mute when this type of question is presented. Of course it may have something to do with "natural" horsemanship. Again, the same question arises, "Where are all the experts?"

That question has been puzzling me ever since you asked it.

the revners answer is about the best I have seen
