One Example Of A Lack Of Straightness

A lack of straightness in horses is a major cause of premature physical breakdown and limits the scope of a horse's work.
Crookedness is sometimes caused by physical limitations of the horse and the rider, but often caused by a our inability to change a horse's thought.
Most training is directed at addressing a horse's physical weaknesses and a rider's use of their body and/or aids. Very few trainers consider how big a role a horse's lack of focus and direct-ability of their thought plays in a lack of straightness.
In this video I give one example from a clinic of a straightness problem and how I go about helping improve the horse's straightness.
I teach Good Horsemanship around the world helping people to understand the emotional and mental component of how horses operate to achieve both a willing partnership and bond and to maximize the performance potential of a horse.

Ross, what about a horse who tends to lean one direction (to the right) and drops the inside shoulder? Do the opposite to the outside?

Without seeing the horse for myself I can be sure how I would approach the problem. My first thought might be to leg yield it back to the line of the circle and then release when it softens to the inside rein with it's bend. The principle is the same as demonstrated in to the video. That is, to change it's thought from inside the line of the circle to being back on the line of the circle.
