"The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a human."

Many years ago when I was a serious equestrian student I learned that life is like riding a horse. At first I would concentrate so much on my form that I would forget to guide the horse as well.

Fortunately this was at the walk so I had plenty of time to apply the left or right rein. I learned that by looking between the horses' ears I would see what he was seeing.

Then, after many circuits around the arena at the walk came many hours 'posting' to the walk. This was so that we could learn where the horses' legs were and what we as the rider were supposed to be doing. It is very difficult to 'post' the walk.

We certainly built up our leg and inner thigh muscles. That is how I found out why the groin muscle is called the groin. That is the sound you make when you strain that muscle.

Finally, we were allowed to trot. There were many things to concentrate upon and things started happening a bit more quickly. Gone were the days at the walk when things were relaxed with plenty of time to make a correction. Posting was much, much easier for we were able to allow the momentum of the horses' hindquarters to slightly lift us out of the saddle.

After much fine tuning of our leg position and learning not to snatch at our horses' mouth we progressed on to the canter. More fine tuning and learning how to create room for our horse in an arena full of cantering horses. (It's riding deeply into the corners and circling if needed.) Now it was imperative to look where we were going, see the overall view, and think ahead.

The day finally came when we started our jumping training. We started off with ground poles and eventually we were sailing over small fences and poles. We continually were building upon the foundation of the basics. Those never changed.

The interesting thing about going over a fence is that the rider doesn't look directly at it. The first twenty or so fences are the hardest to learn this skill because the thrill of this feeling of soaring tends to make one look down to see what they have just sailed over.
