Ran across this today. Thinking we still have this problem in today's equestrian industry, especially with the internet.

05/20/2025

In a time when horses are better fed and better cared for than any other throughout history, why are our horses spooky, resisting, difficult to handle and breaking down by the thousands?

Cavalry horses had to be sane, sound, willing and trusting of their riders. Cavalry troopers had to ride in a way that preserved their horses’ willing cooperation, kept the horses calm in difficult situations and, most of all, preserved their horses’ health, well-being and soundness. The riders had to be secure in the saddle, ride across all kinds of terrain, often at speed, and trust their horses would remain calm, quiet and reliable.

In the 1920's The US Cavalry created the very best system throughout history for creating calm, willing, cooperative horses and bold, confident, highly effective riders—without hurting the horses.

A Proven System

In the 1920s the US Cavalry developed a system of riding and training that has proven to be the very best, easy to learn, most effective and versatile system throughout history. A blend of French Classical Dressage and Traditional Forward Riding, this system creates calm, quiet willing, happy horses and bold confident, highly capable riders

without hurting the Horses.

A lifelong student of this US Cavalry Forward Riding System, Sacred Connections Equestrian’s Clinician, Catherine Hunter, is expert in helping riders and their horses sort through the confusion, frustration, even fear, often caused by the overwhelm of today's of self-proclaimed experts and/or rushed training practices.

Clinician Catherine Hunter
A nationally rated rider, a licensed trainer, and former police horse trainer, Catherine trained with US Cavalry Instructors, Olympic riders and coaches, and ANRC National Judges. Her experience includes showing and judging, coaching Pony club and 4H teams, eventing, foxhunting, historical cavalry reenacting, and a long-distance ride to NYC.
