Looking for a solution to your riding problems?

Most riders don't realize that their horse's natural asymmetry is the hidden cause behind their challenges under saddle.

One of the biggest mistakes?

Recognize the symptoms

Your horse’s natural asymmetry can cause many recurring riding issues, such as:

• It’s difficult to ride the horse on the bit
• Leaning on the reins
• The saddle slides to one side
• Difficulties to turn
• Struggle to bend one way
• A strongly developed underneck
• Speeding up automatically in the canter

Recognizing these symptoms of natural asymmetry is the first step.

The real solution lies in helping your horse develop evenly in body and limbs.

This is where Straightness Training comes in.

The Solution: Straightness Training

Straightness Training consists of a logical system of progressive exercises to develop the horse symmetrically.

STep by STep, your horse becomes more balanced, supple, and strong.

The end result of your training is a straightened horse that:

• is symmetrically developed in body and limbs;
• is symmetrical in movement and can perform all exercises equally to the left and to the right;
• and can collect and move with lightness and shoulder-freedom.

Groundwork as the foundation

We always start from the ground, without the additional weight of the rider.

With groundwork, we can help our horse restore balance and harmony and prepare the body for riding. 

Only a straight horse can carry a rider in a healthy way, where the hind legs support the back and relieve the front legs.

Straightness Training as ‘Horse Yoga’

Straightness training can be seen as a kind of ‘horse yoga’ or ‘horse pilates’.

Just like yoga and pilates help people become more flexible, balanced, and strong, Straightness Training helps the horse develop those same qualities, in both body and mind. 

Each exercise gently stretches, strengthens, and aligns the horse’s muscles. The result is a supple, balanced, and relaxed horse that moves with ease and confidence.

It’s not about forcing the horse into a position. It’s about helping the horse find its own natural balance through mindful movement.

Straightness Training as Movement Therapy

Another way to look at Straightness Training is as a form of movement therapy.

Movement therapy has played a major role in human medicine. For example, someone with certain back problems gets exercises to train their abdominal muscles, and those with a stiff arm do different movement exercises to improve mobility. Doctors and specialists now recognize the power physical training for their patients. In some hospitals, patients even do fitness programs before surgery to improve to recover faster afterward.

The same applies to horses.

Many physical problems with horses can be better solved with specific exercises than with only physiotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncture or medication.

Of course, those therapies are valuable but often their results are often stronger when combined with well-thought-through gymnastic exercises.

Straightness Training Works

We’ve seen amazing changes, even in horses that vets had already given up on. It may sound impossible, but it’s not. We’ve seen it happen many times!

Just look at Cunera’s story, a horse that the vets had no hope for:

Straighness Training can be a solution for problems such as:

• bridle lameness
• a stiff back
• stiff shoulders and limited shoulder-freedom

Even for horses with severe conditions like navicular disease, kissing spines, or a crooked pelvis Straightness Training can be the solution.
