whats a good way to help teach your horse smooth lead changes?

what kind of exercises do you do the help with flying lead changes or lead changes in general?
im trying to get my western riding patterns down..

sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum!!

just practice a lot but not necessarily all at one time they can get kinda burnt out and start rushing them

my only word of advice is let them carry a little more speed to do the flying changes they really can't pleasure lope into them becuase it is too hard to shift the weight and they tend to really hop up in front

my mare molly is learning them well she has them down for the most part but we're just smoothing them out I find that the more I practice say 15-20 minutes a day I think she is starting to figure it out and become more balanced

good luck!

Jamie I have some great videos and when you get here I have a friend who is an ace in the NRHA who can give you some great tips we can haul one of the girls over and she can teach you some tricks
