It sounds like Bruce will be sorely missed. In the earlier days of learning to ride I would never have thought that I needed to learn about a horse's muscle movement. But now years later I know that this information is indeed very helpful in achieving my horsemanship goals. "Learning balance and better position in the saddle to work with (and not against) the horse was key." Very well said and so true. John,

“Learning balance and better position in the saddle to work with (and not against) the horse was key.”
Very well said and so true.

He had a way of working with horses that was rare and based on the horse's natural behavior. He did the same for the riders as he trained me for the hunt field as well the horses I rode. Understanding the horse, the mechanics of its muscle movement and why it does what it does, helped me better anticipate the approaches to jumping as well as position on the flats.
