How does liberty support our riding as it pertains to lateral work, like a sidepass?
In the second part of our sidepassing series, we'll look at how we can achieve a sidepass in our liberty work. This is a great precursor to sidepassing in the saddle.
When we explore sidepassing at liberty, we're not teaching the horse a trick. Instead, we're using our knowledge of how the horse balances their body and responds to our space and energy.
We realize how little we actually need to acheive a sidepass: if your horse can sidepass at liberty, you're not using your reins or leg. So - do you need those in the riding? We'll take a look at how to start sidepassing in the saddle using as little of our aids as possible.
