Correctness over trends…

The great master trainer George Morris told us – wisdom for all riders:
“Feel the hindleg in your hand, a steady hand. Today we have this fashion for hand riding, don’t copy fashion, what is important, is correctness. You must have elasticity from your shoulder to the horse’s mouth, a straight line, a steady connection and elasticity of hand.” Read more

Even in practices, schooling and lessons. No matter your level of riding… discipline, dedication and responsibility.
🏇🏿🧽🧹🧼🫧

Guess who? 😉 Today’s PSA: Clean your tack, groom your horse, and shine your boots. Every day. If you can control nothing else, you can control your turn out. There is no excuse to not do the minimum effort.
