In this video we can see Peggy working on staying balanced on top of her “surfboard”
When the horse moves forward there is a circular motion to that movement, it goes up/forward then back/down. Very similar to a wave in the ocean, and just like a surfer it’s the rider’s job to stay aligned and balanced on top of the energy created by the wave. This can only be achieved if the rider is in “Ear shoulder hip heel” alignment. Peggy originally was in a lean back water skier position, which put her behind the wave and inhibited Joey’s ability to freely move forward. By giving her the image of pushing her pecs into a strong gust of wind, Peggy was able to stay on top of Joey’s wave allowing him to lengthen his neck and step through with his hind leg.
Excellent job Peggy and Joey!
