Quality Riding, It Is Up To The Rider 🫵

"When I first started my dressage journey, I used to pretend I was Robert Dover when I rode. Thinking about how he rode while I was mounted made me sit up straighter and present myself on the horse. Trust me, I did not start that way. I was rounded in my shoulders and slumped. But I desperately wanted to be a good rider, so I did yoga, swam the backstroke, and started sitting up and thought about my posture and how I used my body ALL day!"

First appearing in the Three Rivers Equestrian Association newsletter, "TREA Branches" (September 2024), this article was a nominee in the 2025 GMO Newsletter Awards for first-person experience articles for GMOs with 75-174 members.

Qualities that make a good leg-yield:

✅ The horse moves both forwards and sideways on two tracks.
✅ The rhythm and tempo remains consistent.
✅ The horse's body stays straight with the shoulders about one hoofprint in front of the hindquarters, and a very slight flexion at the poll away from the direction of travel.
✅ If in trot, the horse's inside legs pass and cross in front of the horse's outside legs.
✅ The horse moves freely forward, working through his back without tension or resistance, and the balance is uphill.
✅ The contact is elastic and consistent.
✅ There is a clear start and end to the movement.
✅ The positioning of the leg-yield remains the same throughout the movement, without steep or shallow variations.
