On Cue - training in Ocala - Feb ‘21 - Boyd Martin
This excerpt captures a brief segment of a hands‑on equestrian training session led by Boyd Martin in Ocala, Florida, in February 2021. Two speakers—presumably the trainer (Speaker A) and the rider (Speaker B)—exchange rapid coaching cues. The trainer repeatedly instructs the rider to "slow it down," to feel the horse’s movement, and to execute specific physical adjustments such as using the hip and hand, and making left/right directional cues. The rider attempts the cues, asks for clarification, and the trainer provides corrective feedback, including halting, straightening, and subtle posture tweaks. The dialogue illustrates the iterative, cue‑based nature of riding instruction, emphasizing rider feel, balance, and precise body cues to influence the horse’s response.
