To Know What Riding Forward with Impulsion Feels Like…
Imagine your horse’s back inflating like a balloon, rising and lifting your seat. The back actually does this during proper impulsion—the horse physically lifts you as his hindquarters lower and he develops increased thrust. That’s the feeling of a truly forward horse who is balanced and ready to do anything you ask. —Pam Stone
