The 4 C's of Horsemanship and Riding
These lessons and the Stay in the Saddle
method teach the Four C’s of Horsemanship
and Riding: Comfort, Communication,
Control and Confidence. We developed this
“gauge” to help horsemen determine where
they are in their riding skills.
Comfort
As you learn to control your own body and teach
it to ride with the correct posture and a good seat, you will become comfortable in
the saddle. It takes time and effort to develop this comfort, but once accomplished
you will begin to communicate with your horse.
Communication
To truly communicate with your horse, you need to cue him correctly. Since you are
comfortable, and thus relaxed, you will give him proper messages and not
confuse him with incorrect signals.
Control
When you begin to effectively communicate with your horse, you will begin to
experience control over your horse. Because you are first in control of your own
body and riding comfortably, you can communicate to your horse specifically what
you want, and then ultimately be in control of him.
Confidence
With comfort, communication and control, you will enjoy and reap the benefits of
confidence. With increased confidence, you will ride even better and your interest
will grow. You will have accomplished a huge step in your horsemanship. And
with building confidence, you will become more comfortable, communicate better
and be in even better control of your horse. Your horse will ride better and you will
experience success in the saddle.
The Four C’s are vital to being a successful
horseman, and it really is a continuing cycle.
Each step is so important in its order, and
necessary before going on to the next step.
It will be very worth your time to accomplish
each “C” in order to achieve the final reward
of confidence. You’ll be improved, your horse
will be improved, and you will achieve the
“oneness” with your horse that you desire.
You will stay in the saddle.
