Teach Your Horse to Go Sideways Under Saddle with Pat Parelli

Watch an excerpt from the Four Savvys - FreeStyle Savvy Pack. In this clip, Pat Parelli assists a student with training her horse to go sideways.
Pat Parelli chose to divide the Parelli program into four distinct areas, or "Savvys," which opens the door for students to make their horsemanship education unique to them. Each of the Four Savvys addresses a different aspect of horsemanship, and each is essential to a truly well-rounded equine education. The expansive Four Savvys DVD pack series covers each of the Savvys in great detail, with step-by-step DVD lessons from Pat Parelli, guide books, pocket guides, pattern maps, interactive pop-up menus for additional education with Linda Parelli, and more.
The Four Savvys series truly is the definitive Parelli educational product. Regardless of discipline, experience level, or skill, students around the world will have everything they need to become exemplary horsemen or horsewomen with the Four Savvys. Each of the Four Savvys DVD packs includes a Savvy Pack and a Student Pack (both included in the price for each individual Savvy). This allows you to not only watch and learn directly from Pat Parelli, but watch Pat Parelli giving a lesson to a Parelli student at each Level of each Savvy as well. The Four Savvys also contain pocket guides, a Parelli road map, guide books, a Patterns map and more. Get your copy at Parelli.com.

Hey, neat! like the fence tapping!

[@PH-lp2dg]

Love Pat Parelli 👍🏻

[@FOXDONFOX]

Tapping the fence is a unique technique! What is a California Roll? Is that a Roll Back?

Nice

What is the point of tapping the fence? Seems to me the horse already knew how to leg yield for the most part so I don’t get what’s being accomplished here. (Ps I’m not being rude, just want an explanation)

I saw that as well. This is not about training the horse, this is about training the rider. She learned and in no time even had the coordination down. Sure this horse could side pass beautifully, this is just another way to do the same exercise so the horse nor the rider gets bored. Great way for the horse to get lots of good feedback cause he kinda already knows what is happening. Tapping on the fence replaces tapping on the shoulder. Gets the horse thinking outside of his 'bubble'.

This seems to be a very reactive horse... (purposely)?... I wouldn’t want my horse reacting by tapping a fence. It looks like there’s holes in the training when I see this. I spend a lot of time re-training “over reactive horses”. If I hit the fence with a stick I’d like to know my horse was comfortable with the idea & was happy to stand still for me.

If we avoided everything our horses are uncomfortable with, we wouldn't be able to help build their confidence. So if something bothers your horse you keep doing it until your horse becomes OK with it and acts like it's nothing.
