The Science of how Horses Think & Learn Alignment. In riding and in life!
and canter strides lose their flow when a there’s a kink in the hose – misalignment, however subtle. When our lives get out

Alignment. In riding and in life! A medley of horse performance issues stem from
the same source – lack of straightness. Anyone driving a truck a truck and trailer will tell
you that in stopping or backing, you’d better have the rig straight! The same is true with horses. When a horse has his head, neck, shoulders and
hips aligned with his line of travel, he’s straight. So, curved path or straight, no body part should drift off the track. Picture your horse’s nose on the line with front and back feet straddling that line. When your horse’s nose tips to the out-
side, his shoulder drops to the inside. If his haunches fishtail toward the in-gate, he’ll swap leads or break gait. Horses jump in poor form or even refuse due to a crooked approach to the fence. Flying changes hop
of alignment, we lose sight of our priorities. We get side- tracked from our goals and sometimes our values. We might spend more money than we intended on tack and show clothes, when we know they won’t necessarily put us in the ribbons. Or we might spend our energy chasing those ribbons at the expense of family relation- ships. Committees, career, fashion and Facebook can worm their ways out of their proper place in line. We feel like life is happening to us instead of the fruit of thoughtful choices, stride by stride. You have to decide what
your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, non-apolo- getically – to say “no” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside. The enemy of the “best” is often the “good.” Stephen Covey
