Lateral work is often shrouded in mystery and deemed as horsemanship for the advanced rider. I believe by knowing how your body works through lateral work helps you to be more aware of how you affect and therefore change the horse in straight lines and turns.
Learn how your horse moves you in these movements and understand that knowing how to ride turns and circles can make many lateral movements easy. I encompass both classical and western lateral work as they compliment each other. Learning both not only gives us a better understanding of how our body affects the horse in complex movement, it also increases your horse's elasticity, flexibility and expression.
