1. Riding Your Horse Like An Electric Eel
Here’s Trainer Andy Curry talking about riding:
It’s said:
“If you’re like an electric eel,
you might be a better rider for
your horse.”
Here’s what it means.
When electric eels meet, they actually
change frequencies.
Why?
So that their electrical fields
don’t interfere.
Isn’t that amazing?
The fact that they can just change
the frequency at will is amazing… or is it.
If the eel could talk, they’d say,
“Ahhh…no big deal.”
Funny thing is, the same goes for
an accomplished rider and/or trainer.
A rider who “really” gets it will
stay out of the horse’s way.
Like the electric eel, the accomplished
rider won’t interfere.
The rider’s done it so much and
learned special techniques that it’s become
second nature to them…just like the electric eel.
But to get accomplished, you first
must know the techniques and the
techniques must be sound.
And do you know what one of the
biggest mistakes riders make?
It is dropping their toes toward
the ground and wanting to hang on.
What’s wrong with that?
This seemingly “little” thing will
cause your body to rock forward.
If your horse stops on his front
end, you will shoot forward off
the saddle like a bottle rocket.
Plus, rocking forward puts the
horse out of balance.
It will be harder for him to do
maneuvers.
Think of it like this.
Have you ever had a kid ride on your
shoulders and he leaned forward.
Remember how hard it was to keep
your balance?
Remember how hard it was on you to
fight him leaning forward?
Think what that does to the horse?
Sure he’s strong, muscular, and powerful.
But it’s still hard on him. Plus, we
weigh a lot more than a little kid.
So the answer is pointing your heels
down.
That means your toes are up…not
down.
With your heels down, it practically
forces you to sit deep in your saddle.
It also practically forces you to
sit much more balanced.
But here’s a warning.
If you’re not used to doing this, you
may think you’re doing it when you’re actually not.
Thus, have someone watch your ride or
have someone film you so you can check your posture.
Did you ever see the movie “The Gladiator”?
Russel Crowe, the Gladiator, was asked
what he would tell his son if he were alive.
The Gladiator said,…
“I’d tell him when he rides
to keep his heels down.”
Although there are several things you
should know about riding and riding well,
this is one of the most important.
Then again, there are several important things to know.
If you know want to know some great
riding information, I urge you to look at two our DVD’s.
Both are on riding, but each show things the other does not.
