Riding on a Triangle is really part two of the Capture the Saddle DVD. I recommend that you watch the Capture the Saddle Lesson before moving on to this lesson. It will make much more sense if you have already watched the previous lesson. I refer back to that Mini Course and the work covered in it throughout this lesson.
In this lesson you will learn how to:

Use cues as problem solving tools.\u2028
Get a stuck horse to move.\u2028
Develop the beginnings of lateral work\u2028
Create a great riding relationship with your horse.\u2028

Does your horse dance around at the mounting block? Does he sidle away as soon as you put your foot in the stirrup? This lesson shows you how to use the power of cues to interrupt this pattern. And once you're on, it shows you how to use the single-rein riding to get a stuck horse in motion. Once the feet are moving, you’ll see how you can use a basic cone circle exercise to create the beginnings of lateral work.

The longer we stay with an exercise the more good things it gives us.

This lesson beautifully illustrates this concept. It begins by looking at a very frustrating problem; a horse that siddles backwards each time the rider starts to get on. Over time horse and rider have evolved a long dance routine at the mounting block. The horse lines up beautifully, but she reads any move towards the stirrup as a cue to back up. Back up, come forward, back again. We've probably all seen it. This kind of mounting block jig is very common.

So the lesson begins by looking at the power of cues to interrupt this long standing pattern. It adds extra layers to the \"Capture the Saddle\" lesson presented in

In the \"Capture the Saddle\" mini course you learned how to ask your horse to soften his jaw to the side and yield his hips. This brought him to a stand still at the mounting block. So obviously, yielding the hips can get a horse to stop. Yielding the hips can also get a horse to go. The same basic exercise can create two very different results. In this DVD mini Course you'll see how we get a stuck horse to connect her feet to the reins and into motion.

That same softening of the jaw and connecting the feet to the hips can now be used to ride a simple pattern around a circle of cones. This is the same exercise I introduced in the \"Capture the Saddle\" DVD, but now I'm going to take it a step further to show you an easy way to pop out the beginnings of lateral work. So in this one lesson we go from a stuck-in-cement horse to one that is beginning to flow into lateral steps.

At the end of the lesson, just for fun, I show you what a horse can do who understands good balance.

Have fun!

This lesson was originally produced in 2008 as a two hour DVD lesson.

Alexandra Kurland has been working since the early 1990s to bring clicker training into the horse world.

Her area of particular interest is the development of a horse's balance: physical and emotional. Helping horses stay sound throughout a long lifetime is the goal. The result are beautiful horses that feel like heaven to ride. Her work can be applied to any breed, discipline, and age.

In 1998 Alexandra launched the rapidly growing field of clicker training for horses with the publication of her first book, “Clicker Training for Your Horse”.
She has also written “The Click That Teaches: A Step–By–Step Guide in Pictures” and “The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker”. She has also produced The Click That Teaches DVD lesson series, plus an on-line training course, and an extensive library of articles in her blog: theclickercenterblog.com. She also produces the weekly Equiosity podcast - an exploration of all things equine with a special emphasis on the horse-human bond.

Alexandra teaches clicker training geared to any horse need or sport—including developing a gentle and companionable riding horse, working with foals and weanlings, training advanced performance horses, and helping difficult to handle horses.

Prior to the pandemic, Alexandra traveled widely giving clicker training clinics and presenting at conferences in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. She has been on the faculty of The Clicker Expo since it’s beginning almost twenty years ago.
Her clinic teaching has now shifted on-line so wherever you are in the world, you and your horse can learn directly from Alexandra.
