The
very
essence
of
Classical
Riding
is
to
achieve
a
relationship
of
"oneness"
with
the
horse.
|
Riding
is
only
artful
when
both
horse
and
rider
display
PLEASURE
while
exhibiting.
After
horse
and
rider
learn
to
communicate
well
with
each
other,
their
performance
becomes
exciting,
beautiful
and
fulfilling.
So-called
"untrainable"
and
difficult
horses,
as
well
as
mediocre
riders,
are CREATED
by
having
an
overall
method
forced
upon
them
with
the
expectation
of
obtaining
a
"normal"
response.
This
leaves
no
room
for
INDIVIDUAL
behavior
patterns,
instinctive
needs,
or
differences.
At
 ,
the
student's
whole
being
is
accepted
as
the
basis
from
which
to
start,
and
new
patterns
are
added
to
those
already
existing.
The
method
of instruction
or training
that
is
called
for,
development,
and
progress
are
read
from
the
student
and/or
horse
during
each
session
...
and
proceed
step
by
step
...
until
such
harmony
results
between
horse
and
rider
that,
in
the
show
ring,
the
students
can
easily
be
recognized
by
the
judges.
|
Foremost
consideration
is
always
given
to
the
nature
of
the
horse... |
|
...
it is
a
PRIVILEGE
to
ride
a
horse
!!! |
