In this detailed and heartfelt presentation, Ann Montgomery takes you through her proven process to assess and improve straightness in both horse and rider. You’ll learn how to see imbalances, feel alignment, and rewire crooked patterns with simple tools, body awareness, and in-hand or ridden exercises.
You’ll discover:
✅ How to assess asymmetry using photos and feel
✅ The effects of natural crookedness—and how to improve it gently
✅ Why your riding habits and sleeping patterns might be impacting your horse
✅ Simple exercises to rewire your own posture and awareness
✅ How to spot contact, hoof, jaw, tail, and saddle-related straightness issues
✅ When and why the thoracic sling and hyoid play a role in your horse’s balance
✅ Tools for teaching upright posture in hand, and how to carry that into ridden work
✅ Why slow, thoughtful movement can rewire the nervous system and prevent injury
“Straightness isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a balanced body and a calm mind —for both you and your horse.”
Whether you're working with young horses, rehabs, or simply wanting better flow and rhythm under saddle, this 52 minute masterclass gives you the tools to understand, observe, and gently guide the process.
