RWYM isn’t dressage/competition riding or classical though?
Yes it is! And though it isn’t Western riding or Polo, it is the skills that the top few riders in each of these disciplines share, even though they may not recognise that fact. The laws of physics and biomechanics do not change when you change your riding discipline, and they have not changed over time. But by using different language to describe those skills we make them far more accessible and reproducible. Few trainers in any discipline can ‘clone’ riders who replicate their skills; but we can. When riders use their body to say it in the language ‘horse’ their riding becomes extremely ethical, and horses miraculously ‘get it’. It takes a while for new skills to become natural, but soon enough the rider appears to have talent!
