We have all heard it: your horse is on the forehand! But what exactly does that mean? To put it simply, your horse is tipping over the front end and angling the front feet toward the hind end.

When our horses go too fast or refuse to move it is because they are putting their weight over the front end. We need our horses to use their back and learn to carry their shoulders (and our weight) with their body and not the neck.

The front legs must come straight down, first and always!
