Sit tall in the saddle, Head up, shoulders back; Toes forward, heels down, Boots polished black; Eyes to the front, With a smile on your face; And think pleasure ride, Not horse race; Elbows on your hips, Squeeze tight with your knees; Pinkies to drop the nose, And don’t forget to breathe; Rise and fall with the leg on the wall, Make sure you check your lead; If you remember all of that, You are sure to succeed!
