🐴DRESSAGE SOLUTIONS🐴 Understand How Crooked Riding Affects Your Horse ...
Load a wheelbarrow heavily to one side as in the center illustration. Now push the wheelbarrow, and feel how it pulls to the weighted side and how you are forced to lean in that direction to compensate. That’s how your horse feels when you sit unevenly in the saddle, as shown in the left image. When you sit evenly, the horse will be centered and balanced as shown in the illustration on the right.

Wayne Newton: A Legendary Entertainer with a Passion for Arabian Horses
Wayne Newton, famously known as “Mr. Las Vegas,” has captivated audiences for over six decades with his unforgettable voice and stage presence. Yet beyond the bright lights of the Vegas Strip, Newton has another lifelong passion—Arabian horses.
His love for these extraordinary animals began early and evolved into a defining part of his life. More than just an admirer, Newton became one of the most recognized breeders of Arabian horses in the United States, dedicating himself to preserving the breed’s heritage and beauty.
In the 1970s, he established Casa de Shenandoah, his iconic Arabian horse ranch in Nevada. This sanctuary became home to some of the finest Arabians, carefully bred, trained, and nurtured under his watchful eye. Newton’s commitment to the breed extended beyond his ranch—his horses have won numerous accolades, and he has represented Arabian horses on the world stage, advocating for their elegance and significance.
His devotion also extends to philanthropy. Newton has used his platform to raise awareness for animal welfare and promote the preservation of Arabian horses, ensuring their legacy continues for future generations.
A true legend in both entertainment and the equestrian world, Wayne Newton’s impact goes far beyond music. His love for Arabian horses remains a lasting and cherished part of his legacy.
