This is for you if...:
You’re trying to ride straight, but it feels like your horse is playing pinball.
You’ve added more leg, tried to “hold” the line, and still end up wobbling around the arena.
You know something’s missing in your horse’s education—but you’re not sure where to start.
You care about doing things right, and you want calm, confident steering that actually works.
Three Ways This Freebie Will Help You Ride Straighter, Calmer, and with WAY Less Leg!
Build Straightness from the Start
Train your horse to walk a consistent path beside rails, fences, or scary objects without drifting or dodging—by teaching the front feet where to go.
Replace Tension with Calm Confidence
This exercise helps regulate your horse’s nervous system by removing the “run away” option. Your horse learns to stay present, grounded, and straight.
Fix Steering Issues Without the Guesswork
No more pushing, clucking, or riding on the verge of frustration. This gives you a rein-based method your horse understands—so you can use less leg and get better results.
Why This Matters:
Most horses are never taught to steer properly—especially not from the beginning.
This freebie gives you the first step in that missing education.
By training the front feet to stay on track beside a wall or rail, you’re creating the straightness, confidence, and regulation needed for everything else.

I’m Jody Hartstone, and if there’s one thing I’ve built my career on—it’s teaching horses how to TURN.
Not just turning in theory, not just pretty shapes in the arena— real steering, from the reins to the feet, with clarity and confidence. I’ve spent years retraining horses who never learned to steer properly, and working with riders who were never taught how to teach it.
Most of the disasters I see? They start with one simple thing: the horse was never taught to turn correctly in the beginning. Rearing, napping, and refusing to move forward? Nine times out of ten, those aren’t attitude problems—they’re caused by a dysfunction in the horse’s turn response.
I’m on a mission to change that.
This freebie is your first step.
Because your horse deserves better than a lifetime of drifting, dodging, and "just use more leg."
And so do you.
What Our Happy Riders Have to Say:
I had no idea how much steering we were
faking until we did this
My young mare always felt wobbly and resistant. I thought it was just her being green—but after doing the Wall Exercise and learning about rein-to-foot logic, it was like someone handed me a steering wheel. I’m finally riding in straight lines without wrestling.”

No more guesswork, no more kicking
“I used to feel so lost with my freshly broken gelding. Everyone said ‘more inside leg’ but it just made him dull and confused. Jody’s method gave me a step-by-step way to teach steering that makes actual sense—to me AND the horse.”
This one freebie exercise stopped the napping
My horse kept napping at the gate and spinning away. I thought it was a stubbornness issue—but now I understand it was a steering issue. The Wall Exercise helped us both feel more in control, and the napping disappeared within a few sessions.”
