Turn lane
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to learn to ride in such a way that the horse remains in straight body alignment- upright and balanced-throughout the turn. This helps a horse to perform whatever maneuver comes next and most of the horsemanship patterns consist of a predictable set of maneuvers such as spins, backing up, side passing, lead charges and navigating a square or triangle.
