Harry has mentored many who are now professional horse people - Josh Nichol, Shea Stewart, Julie Carpenter, Simone Carlson, Libby Lyman, Anna Bonnage, Ty Haas - to name a few that I know personally. I hope Harry is proud of his contribution. He should be. And I hope each of us who has gained from his knowledge does just as good a job for our students.
Being A Good Rider Is Not Being A Correct Rider
Don’t blame everything that’s wrong with a horse’s performance on rider position. It’s a mistake to conflate correct position withy good riding. They are not the same thing. If you always look to faults in a rider’s position to explain performance problems you’ll often be looking in the wrong place and the fix may escape you.
