You're my 1s...Hello Al - Thanks for commenting. You're my 1st commentor.<BR/>Yes hip control is very important. I would check into any articles that talk about SIDEPASSING & 2 TRACKING. Hip-in exercises are also good. I also have exercises called a 'donut' & a box exercise.<BR/>Bob Avila refers to sidepassing as the biggest part of Body control on a horse. Here is a link to a YouTube video with Bob explaining sidepassing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJdWAVQjG3Q&feature=related<BR/> I start a horse on sidepassing with what I call my 'presidepass' exercise or YIELD HINDQTRS WHILE WALKING. I will talk about that in a future article.<BR/> Even before that though, I always start with groundwork. I will ask a horse whenever I am handling them to move their hindqtrs over a step or two with the pressure of my hand at their side. (Right where the spur will eventually go when I am mounted & wearing spurs). That way the horse will have some understanding of yielding to pressure on their sides when they are mounted.<BR/>Thanks for visiting my site.<BR/>ReinersueReinersuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582949382277734929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137494456689348221.post-25692319181522453462009-02-09T11:54:00.000-05:002009-02-09T11:54:00.000-05:00Just found your website through a search I was doi...Just found your website through a search I was doing for techniques on hip control.
