Straightening your horse is a lot like riding a bike.🚲

When you ride too slow on a bike, you wobble, drift, and lose your balance.

The same happens with your horse.

If you ride forward into the bridle and you receive the connection in your hand, your horse gives you the chance to steer, to balance him, and to influence the whole body.

Forward energy makes the contact more stable and makes straightness possible.

Ride too slow and the balance drops onto the forehand.

Ride forward from back to front into the bridle, and suddenly the steering, the balance, and the reaction to your hand all fall into place.

Just like on a bike, when the forward flow is there, it becomes much easier to keep balance and direction.

Do you feel this with your horse too?
