    Thankyou so much for making this video, I found it incredibly helpful and it makes so much sense! (Many vids don’t explain fully enough)
    I’m buying a horse soon and I am going to make sure I teach him you methods from the first day I spend with him.
    Thanks,
    Alexandra

    @AshleenaBallerina sorry I meant to respond to your post :)

    @allPaintNoAngel the easiest way Ive found is to not think about the weight in your seat because when ppl tell you to put your weight on one side you tend to exaggerate/lean and make the weight uneven in your stirrups. You want to think about being even in your stirrups and then use your hips to guide your horse in the direction you are going, you also want to let the shoulders move by not blocking w/ your reins. If your horse starts to turn instead of crossing go straight before trying again :)

    legyielding is the devil it’s like a block in my riding that i just cant get past and everyone i talk to asks for it differenty! i’m off to look at ur website

  5. allPaintNoAngel says:

    I have been taught to weight the outside seatbone (opposite the direction of travel, in order to “open up” the side you are moving towards). I thought that by sitting in the direction of movement, you are blocking it, and therefore making it harder for the horse. But here, you’re explanation of why you should weight the inside seatbone makes sense too. Can both be used? Is sidepassing cued the same way? Thanks! I love your videos.

    Hi, I really loved your videos (new subscriber), I’m a dressage lover, I bought an oldenburg horse but he was a jumper so I started teaching him dressage, is there any chance that you can take a look at my dressage video and tell me what you think and what I should improve?
    You’re an amazing rider (but you probably know that).
    Thank you very much
    Maria

    Great video, Jane!!! Totally ‘hit’ me…slaps forehead, shoulda had a v8! Sending mixed signals. Leaning to use pressure to cue sideways and weighting the wrong seat bone. WOW!

    These few neck reining videos were the most amazing things I could have come across.
    I had a true english pleasure horse. I could slow him down but there was nooo way I was going to get him to let me neck reign him. I watched these videos, tried it, and within 2 weeks I had him responding ever so lightly I couldn’t believe it.
    This last weekend at fair I took 1st place in my western pl. medals class and grand champ!
    Thank you so much for sharing your tips!
    I truly could not thank you more. (:

    I found this video sooo helpful! I’m starting to teach my 4 year old Rocky Mountain x Quarter Horse gelding western and he doesnt know anything about it!
    This is an amazing video and I will definitly check all your other videos too!

    @barrelhorserider7- You might find a couple of our newest video uploads helpful. Check out the videos titled “Enhancing Your Horse’s Trail Performance” – there is one video on jogging in and out of obstacles and another on measuring the horse’s stride length between poles. Generally a trail class will have about eight obstacles ranging from maneuvering a gate, trotting over poles, or backing through an obstacle. Check to see if your 4-H program has guidelines for the trail class.

    Hi.. im doing fair soon for 4h and my riding intstructor hasnt even helped me at ALL with trail. Shes told me nothing about it, or what too expect. I ask her, and she trailes off into an other conversation about some thing else. Im in intermediate, and its my first year in 4h. Help??
