EYE TO EYE Story by Susan Morrison Photography by Ross Hecox Article appeared in the April, 2011 issue of Western Horseman magazine.
Bill Riddle explains how
adjusting to your horse’s natural instincts builds
better lines of communication and improves
performance.
Just as the language barrier
can be a concern for international travelers,
communication problems can also arise between a
rider and horse. Learning how the horse thinks, and
even how it sees, can be a big benefit to every
rider.
Bill Riddle has spent more than 30 years training
cutting horses, and along the way he’s discovered
certain equine characteristics that help him
overcome that communication gap. In fact, those
traits have helped Riddle successfully develop
training and teaching methods that give his horses
and his customers consistent lessons.
