How to Teach Your Horse to Side Pass in Saddle.

So you want to teach your horse to side pass? To do that you have to pick flat, safe ground with flat, sturdy walls. You could do it in an arena or a round pen. After that, line your horse up with the wall, having your horse's nose facing the wall. Next, pick up the rein opposite of the direction you want to go and pull slightly. At the same time, squeeze with the same leg that you are pulling the rein with and then she will side pass. Don't worry if your horse doesn't do it right away because it will take a few tries. Now try it in the opposite direction. In most show patterns you have to teach your horse to go both ways. Be patient and good luck!
