⭐️Teaching the sidepass: Day 1⭐️
- This is a 5 year old mare I have in training, she came to me very green broke, super nervous with a lot of anxiety. This is the first time we have worked on this, it’s far from perfect but great progress for day one!
I start out by walking a small circle simply getting them used to moving off my inside leg, a basic beginning understanding of a leg yield. As soon as they move off my leg I release and let them walk off. At first I’m just looking for them simply to move off of my leg, then I will continue to ask for more and more. Asking for to much at first will just frustrate them and make them not want to do it at all! After they understand moving off my leg I will begin walking a straight line then asking for them to side pass over a few steps at a time, using my hands to keep them from walking forward. I want them to stay soft in my hands while doing so! Continue this adding more and more steps in each time. Once they are to this step I do not release the pressure of my leg until they stay soft in my hands and have their body decently straight! In my experience getting them to walk into it when they are first learning is best, trying from a stand still for some horses causes them to want to back and/or rear! This is the same reason I do not like to use a fence to teach them to side pass unless I have to! Forward motion is very helpful to them! I personally only work one side at a time letting them understand the first way before switching directions and basically starting over the other way! We want to make learning simple as possible for them and not confusing!
This is the way I personally teach a side pass! Every horse & rider are different! Just sharing the way that works for me!🐴💞
