    thank you for these wonderful videos =D I’ve always had difficulty with my diagonals, even though I’ve been riding for over 5yrs & now work in the horse racing industry. I’m currently out of ajob so havnt ridden on nearly 9 months, it should be interesting when I go for a lesson at the weekend. I’ll keep your words in mind =D

    I had an interesting experience last winter when I got tendonitis in my right elbow so I tried cleaning stalls left handed and I was SO uncoordinated, manure was flying everywhere :) So I got a real feel for how difficult it is for the littles when I try to teach them to muck a stall!

    Thanks :) I should try turning it upside down, lol. I remember just not being able to see the shoulder moving when I was little. Now I wonder how I couldn’t see it. Would be interesting to learn something like that again.

    I have favorited several of your teaching videos and was excited to see a new one available. When the video showed up upside down, I thought you’d come up with some really bizarre way of demonstrating how difficult diagonals can be! Then I figured out it was youtube playing an April Fool’s….:)
    thanks for sharing your ideas!

    You guys have amazing ways of teaching kids. My trainer had very non-creative ways of teaching me how to get my correct diagonals, and it simply didn’t work. Now, I don’t have a trainer and I’m learning on my own. I have begun to stop relying on my eyes, and more on the feeling.

    These ideas are awesome, and only make me want to learn more of how you guys teach your kids! :D
