When you teach your horse
to sidepass, you learn to control
his every foot placement
and guide his every step. If you
teach your horse this skill correctly,
he’ll respond to your
every cue and to your natural
aids (seat, hand, and leg).
Here, top clinician/trainer
Julie Goodnight will teach you
how to position your body so
that your horse will quickly understand
that you’re asking for
sideways movement. She’ll help
you reinforce this new skill by
asking you to practice it using a
fence line as a guide.
What you’ll need: If your
horse hasn’t been trained to
sidepass at all, it’s best to start
with a snaffle or curb bit with articulation

mouthpiece). A bit with movement will help
him better feel your side-to-side rein aids.
Skills your horse will need: Your horse
needs to know how to stop with just a seat
cue, go forward off your leg cue, and back
up on cue (using more leg than rein).
