“Often it has been mentioned in these pages that there are three pillars to horsemanship: feel, timing, and balance. But through carefully listening to the men who were our teachers, and through a careful reading of their books, I have come to believe that there are two more that ‘bracket’ these: straightness, and spirit…. In short, for all disciplines, breeds, styles of riding, and activities, straightness is an absolute prerequisite to true collection.” – Deb Bennett, Ph.D.

Deb Bennett (Dr. Deb) is vivacious, direct and smart. It’s clear that she loves her topic, and while she might divulge in historical examples, literary quotes, and an anecdote or two that we’ve heard before, these diversions only serve to demonstrate Dr. Deb’s passion for the study of the horse. This is the second of a series of lectures on collection, and for me, the series answered questions I’d struggled with for years. Information about balance, contact with the bit, and horse biomechanics all come together to describe collection and how to ask your horse to learn it. I had several epiphanies from watching this series and my horsemanship has noticeably improved as a result.
