Too often, riders focus on one detail: the hind leg, the neck, the frame, the contact... But your horse isn’t a collection of separate parts. What really matters is the total picture, horse and rider moving together in harmony. True balance comes when activity, relaxation, and connection all work together. Only then do you get a horse that moves naturally, willingly, and beautifully as one. It’s not about perfect legs or a round neck, it’s about the feeling of unity between you and your horse. #
