Who is this course for?
You both know something is stuck. Sideways shows you where.
The rider stuck at the same movement
Leg-yield is fine, shoulder-in falls apart. Or shoulder-in works on one rein and not the other. You have been circling the same plateau for months and more leg has not moved it.
The horse that stiffens the moment you ask
Head up, back tight, quarters swinging the wrong way. He is not refusing the movement, he cannot organise his body into it yet, and every stronger aid organises it less.
The rider who thinks lateral work is not for them
No competition plans, an ordinary horse, an ordinary arena. But lateral work is how a horse learns to carry himself, and that pays off on a hack just as much as in a test.
Sound familiar?
- Shoulder-in on the left rein works. On the right rein it does not exist.
- He falls through the outside shoulder the moment you ask for bend.
- More leg makes him faster, not more sideways.
- You are not sure whether what you are riding is travers or a drift.
- His head comes up as soon as the exercise starts.
- Your trainer demonstrates it beautifully. Alone at home it unravels.
- You want the movements built up in an order that makes sense to him.
"This is not only for dressage riders. Lateral work is body work: balance, suppleness and carrying power, useful for every horse that carries a rider."

The real problem
He isn't reacting to the object. He's reacting to his own body.
A lateral movement asks him to bend, carry and cross at the same time. If there is tension anywhere in his body, one of the three fails, and what you feel is resistance. Riders answer with a stronger aid, the tension goes up, and now the movement he could almost do has become the movement he braces against.
What the TRT Method does differently
We build the movements from the ground up: first the mobility of the hind legs, then each movement in steps small enough that he stays relaxed inside them. The bend you get that way is one he can hold, because it comes from balance instead of from your leg holding him there.
Your instructor
Meet Tristan Tucker.
Tristan spent years working with horses at the top of the sport, and with the horses that were not coping with it. What he kept finding was the same thing: the behaviour everyone was trying to train away was a body that had never learned how to come back down.
The TRT Method came out of that, and it is now used by more than 122,000 riders in over 90 countries.
The Lateral Movements Course brings the schooling side of Tristan's work to riders of every level, on every kind of horse.
Lesson plan
Six lessons, from first step sideways to the diagonal.
You start where the movement actually starts: with his hind legs, not with your inside leg.
Part 01
Part 02The movements
Built in the order his body can follow.
- Leg yield
- Shoulder in and shoulder yield
- On the diagonal
Six lessons does not mean six weeks. It means no filler between you and the work.
