    Great video, Jane!!! Totally ‘hit’ me…slaps forehead, shoulda had a v8! Sending mixed signals. Leaning to use pressure to cue sideways and weighting the wrong seat bone. WOW!

    Hi, I really loved your videos (new subscriber), I’m a dressage lover, I bought an oldenburg horse but he was a jumper so I started teaching him dressage, is there any chance that you can take a look at my dressage video and tell me what you think and what I should improve?
    You’re an amazing rider (but you probably know that).
    Thank you very much
    Maria

    I have been taught to weight the outside seatbone (opposite the direction of travel, in order to “open up” the side you are moving towards). I thought that by sitting in the direction of movement, you are blocking it, and therefore making it harder for the horse. But here, you’re explanation of why you should weight the inside seatbone makes sense too. Can both be used? Is sidepassing cued the same way? Thanks! I love your videos.

    @allPaintNoAngel the easiest way Ive found is to not think about the weight in your seat because when ppl tell you to put your weight on one side you tend to exaggerate/lean and make the weight uneven in your stirrups. You want to think about being even in your stirrups and then use your hips to guide your horse in the direction you are going, you also want to let the shoulders move by not blocking w/ your reins. If your horse starts to turn instead of crossing go straight before trying again :)

    Thankyou so much for making this video, I found it incredibly helpful and it makes so much sense! (Many vids don’t explain fully enough)
    I’m buying a horse soon and I am going to make sure I teach him you methods from the first day I spend with him.
    Thanks,
    Alexandra
