GETTING YOUR HORSE STRAIGHT!!!!!! When you ride your horse straight you are actually training your horse to be stiff. Lots of bending is the key to getting your horse straight and balanced on both sides. The key with balance and straightness is to be able to control all your horses body parts and arrange them however you want. Bending will actually teach your horse to be straight it will get them equal on both sides of their bodies. Horses have a tendency to carry the rider with their shoulders, hips and head on different tracks, but with suppleness training we can bring them into alignment. So many horses have problems with balance caused by a lack of suppleness, they are unable to change from a left circle to straight to a right circle without lifting the head and dropping a shoulder and this is a basic foundation exercise and can only be improved with suppleness and body control. Bend your horse straight, lateral work is the key to straight work Best wishes Mat The Horses View Horsemanship 0401394479
