Learning to move sideways

...along the fence. Ari being taught to walk using sidesteps in groundwork before being ridden. he is a magnificent horse who has been "started" rather than being "broken".

Taken with Olympus OM-1

He is just lovely - look at those lovely haunches. And so nice to think of him being "started".

Like the tones, it gives more emphasis to the horse. Nice composition.

When i was young I had ridden a few horses that were just so used to us being around them, lunging for exercise and being with the horses that were ridden, us leaning our teenage weight on their backs gently, that there was no breaking needed, it is a lovely way to train them

This is a beautiful and wonderful way to train a horse. As a lover of Arabs, I have either bought or trained my horses "gently" and I think they are far better for it. I come from Colorado where old cowboys think people like me are idiots, but I am sure our horses are enjoyed more and worth more in the long run.

Sounds very interesting and a "happier" way to get a horse used to the saddle and a rider. Nice shot.
