Body Position and control

 “If you cannot control your own position,

 you will have difficulty controlling the horse.  

Olympic show jumper, Anne Kursinski

Larry Poulin

Take advantage of  any opportunity to watch Larry drive. You will marvel at his exquisite body position and control. He's a master from which we all can learn. 

The available aids while driving horses are: whip, voice, reins and one that is seldom mentioned: body position and control. 

Without effective body positioning and control, your horse's performance will be sub-par. 

Because fewer aids are available than for riding, more attention should be given to mastering the one's we DO have available to us.
