Portable: Petra Biehle And Horse

The Equestrian Revolution: How Petra Biehle Redefined the "Horse Portable" Philosophy

This is a mechanical skill. Biehle teaches every horse to "disengage the hindquarters" on a light seat aid. Why is this portable? Because in any scary situation—a dog lunging from a bush, a car backfiring—if the rider can move the horse’s hindquarters, the horse cannot bolt. This turns the horse into a safe, portable machine.
