Perfect equitation isn’t about your pose. Trainer and judge Geoff Teall reminds us that real equitation goes far beyond appearances. Independent hands and an independent seat aren’t about “looking pretty." They’re about balance, awareness, and communication that let the horse perform freely. The best riders don’t hold themselves still; they move with the horse. Their aids disappear into harmony. #ThePlaidHorse #EquitationGoals #HunterJumper #IndependentSeat #RiderBalance #GeoffTeall #HorseAndRider #EquestrianEducation
