Most Riding Problems Start Here (Basic Principles Explained)

This video breaks down the basic riding principles I use in my horsemanship program—the foundation for everything I do from the saddle.
Good riding isn’t about strength, force, or constant correction. It’s about clarity, balance, and guiding the horse’s body with purpose.

In this overview, I explain:
• How I think about riding and maneuvering a horse at a basic level
• Why control of the horse’s body matters more than speed or style
• The importance of balance, direction, and follow-through
• How riding problems usually come from missing foundation
• Why good riding feels simple when the basics are solid

This is not meant to be an advanced or technical breakdown.
It’s a clear summary of the principles that create calm, willing, responsive horses under saddle.

Each of these concepts is taught step-by-step and in much greater depth inside Equine Masterclass, where groundwork and riding are connected into one complete system.
