The Debate: Balance vs Movement

 

Where can we find perfection? Where can we find the truth?

Nowhere do we find so much controversy as we do here with a debate on the quest for truth as we do in the discussion between which should come first - balance or movement? Two wildly disparate camps.

Certain schools of thought, who believe that balance must always come first. That any horse that travels in incorrect balance will just continue to work in incorrect balance, never changing and that instead, if we achieve balance before we ask for movement, each movement that follows itself will be balanced.

While others maintain that movement must always come first. That the balance will be found later. Concerned perhaps about restrictions that may be imposed upon the horse’s body if he's not allowed to move freely forward. Maintaining that forward is the ultimate first goal that each and every horse trainer must strive for. Understanding without forward that everything is lost.

Balance first.

Movement first.
