Sidepassing 2 - Using Liberty

sidepassing liberty
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.

Superb Sidepassing Part I - Groundwork Essentials

sidepassing
A sidepass - and other lateral maneuvers - may look fairly simple... But in truth, requires a knowledge and practical experience of many things: - Focus and energy - How a horse balances its body - How we can affect that balance - How a horse moves in balance - The horse's musculature - How a lack of tension (mental and physical) is a prerequisite to athletic motion - What causes tension and the tools and practices we can employ to release it - How a horse can mirror your own body balance, focus and energy And much more... We'll explore all these essentials - and also what to do when things get 'stuck' - as we work toward seamless and superb sidepassing in Part 1 of this series.
