Riding Your Horse Like An Electric Eel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Trainer Andy Curry talking about riding:<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re like an electric eel,<br \/>\nyou might be a better rider for<br \/>\nyour horse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what it means.<\/p>\n<p>When electric eels meet, they actually<br \/>\nchange frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>So that their electrical fields<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t interfere.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that amazing?<\/p>\n<p>The fact that they can just change<br \/>\nthe frequency at will is amazing&#8230; or is it.<\/p>\n<p>If the eel could talk, they&#8217;d say,<br \/>\n&#8220;Ahhh&#8230;no big deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Funny thing is, the same goes for<br \/>\nan accomplished rider and\/or trainer.<\/p>\n<p>A rider who &#8220;really&#8221; gets it will<br \/>\nstay out of the horse&#8217;s way.<\/p>\n<p>Like the electric eel, the accomplished<br \/>\nrider won&#8217;t interfere.<\/p>\n<p>The rider&#8217;s done it so much and<br \/>\nlearned special techniques that it&#8217;s become<br \/>\nsecond nature to them&#8230;just like the electric eel.<\/p>\n<p>But to get accomplished, you first<br \/>\nmust know the techniques and the<br \/>\ntechniques must be sound.<\/p>\n<p>And do you know what one of the<br \/>\nbiggest mistakes riders make?<\/p>\n<p>It is dropping their toes toward<br \/>\nthe ground and wanting to hang on.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s wrong with that?<\/p>\n<p>This seemingly &#8220;little&#8221; thing will<br \/>\ncause your body to rock forward.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse stops on his front<br \/>\nend, you will shoot forward off<br \/>\nthe saddle like a bottle rocket.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, rocking forward puts the<br \/>\nhorse out of balance.<\/p>\n<p>It will be harder for him to do<br \/>\nmaneuvers.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it like this.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever had a kid ride on your<br \/>\nshoulders and he leaned forward.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how hard it was to keep<br \/>\nyour balance?<\/p>\n<p>Remember how hard it was on you to<br \/>\nfight him leaning forward?<\/p>\n<p>Think what that does to the horse?<\/p>\n<p>Sure he&#8217;s strong, muscular, and powerful.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s still hard on him. Plus, we<br \/>\nweigh a lot more than a little kid.<\/p>\n<p>So the answer is pointing your heels<br \/>\ndown.<\/p>\n<p>That means your toes are up&#8230;not<br \/>\ndown.<\/p>\n<p>With your heels down, it practically<br \/>\nforces you to sit deep in your saddle.<\/p>\n<p>It also practically forces you to<br \/>\nsit much more balanced.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s a warning.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not used to doing this, you<br \/>\nmay think you&#8217;re doing it when you&#8217;re actually not.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, have someone watch your ride or<br \/>\nhave someone film you so you can check your posture.<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever see the movie &#8220;The Gladiator&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Russel Crowe, the Gladiator, was asked<br \/>\nwhat he would tell his son if he were alive.<\/p>\n<p>The Gladiator said,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d tell him when he rides<br \/>\nto keep his heels down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although there are several things you<br \/>\nshould know about riding and riding well,<br \/>\nthis is one of the most important.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, there are several important things to know.<\/p>\n<p>If you know want to know some great<br \/>\nriding information, I urge you to look at two our DVD&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Both are on riding, but each show things the other does not.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the following to see more:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-sue-riding.html\" title=\"Sue Robertson Riding DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sue Robertson Riding DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html\" title=\"Diana Quintana Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Diana Quintana Training DVD\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nRemember.<\/p>\n<p>Heels down.<\/p>\n<p>Sit straight.<\/p>\n<p>Shoulders back.<\/p>\n<p>Head looking forward.<br \/>\n(Don&#8217;t look down all the time unless that&#8217;s<br \/>\nwhere you want to land.)<\/p>\n<p>You can see all the DVD selections here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/DVD.html\" title=\"Horse Training DVD Selections\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Horse Training DVD Selections<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>**************************************************************<\/p>\n<p>2.
