My riding students will recognize this explanation. Advancing from this, shutting down forward motion then creates the sidepass….

To help move your horse sideways in leg-yield, imagine you are an ice skater …

You push off with one leg toward your other foot, stepping and putting your weight to the side, like an inside foot to an ice skater. Also, you cannot collapse at the waist, or you would fall.

Ruth Hogan-Poulsen has earned her USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medals as well as her Freestyle Gold Bar. All of these awards are with top Honors of Distinction. Her students have won top honors in the USDF Year-End, Horse of the Year and All Breed awards. She has been designing competitive musical freestyles for decades, which have been performed in all levels all over the world. She splits her time between Vermont and Florida.

⁣⁣We will never get to a place in life where the learning stops. Even the ‘black belts’ of the world continue to pursue more knowledge, in fact, probably more so than anyone else. The essence of a great teacher is in the love they have for their craft. Mastery is achieved by those who continue to evolve over time and consistently improve their skills.⁣⁣
⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣Respect is the best compliment we can give to these individuals; teachers, coaches, trainers, parents, instructors, etc. Anyone that has had a positive impact on your life in a meaningful way. We honor them through our actions, carrying on the lessons learned through their guidance. ⁣⁣

To the trainers who are trying their best—remember:

Not every horse will leave your facility in a place where you feel 100% confident in where they are at with their training.

Not every horse will “make it” at the level your customer expects.

Not every customer will be able to continue a horse’s training the way that you would have.

Not every customer will take the time to learn how to use their horse to its full potential.

Not every customer will give you the opportunity to spend the time you need to make a horse truly great.

Not everyone will appreciate your approach, or understand your training philosophy.

But, also remember that…

There will be plenty of great customers who appreciate your perspective and program.

There will be many wonderful people with talented horses that will cross your path.

There will someday be an opportunity to ride that once-in-a-lifetime horse that you will get to put your mark on.

There will be ample opportunities to educate and empower your customers to reach their full potential with their horses.

There will be plenty of happy people who give you a call to tell you about all the success they are having with their horses.

There will be endless opportunities to feel grateful and blessed about the people and horses you get to work with everyday.

The strongest asset you can have as a horse trainer is perspective. Focus on the good, and the good gets better.

Feel, timing and balance can start at a very young age. He was born in tune; often prevalent with children on the spectrum, IDD, learning disabilities, and TBI’s.

It requires no knowledge or experience to form an opinion- and that is just the thing about opinions: everyone has one.
To be married to our opinions requires no thought, no introspection, and no practice.

To really learn, to actually have something to offer a horse, requires the intent to truly be free of the weight of our own self importance. To be open, curious, and interested enough, yet still carry the desire to be rooted to the good of the horse-

This takes real strength and skill, and has real value in the world.
