Since 2004, we have helped thousands of riders go from a 'Impossible' to "I'm Possible" with Straightness Training.
Many riders experience challenges that seem difficult to solve:
Often these problems are treated as separate issues.
But in reality, they usually share the same underlying cause.
It's not you.
It's not your horse.
It's a hidden force almost nobody talks about...
Chances are, no one has ever taught you how to recognize and handle it...
Until now...
We are all born as asymmetrical beings. All creatures are left or right handed.
In the hands, feet, paws, claws or hooves. And this of great help for survival.
But the moment you start riding, all kinds of undesired things can happen:
When I met my horse Maestro, he was a spooky horse, difficult to turn, rearing, running, and resisiting, and impossible to ride.
I tried everything to solve these issues, but nothing really helped.
Until one day, I discovered the root cause:
natural asymmetry.
And thanks to Maestro, I developed the solution.
