Good To Great Dressage
The "Good to Great" series
In his best seller "Good too Great," Jim Collins investigates the difference between business leaders achieving brilliant but short term successes, (Good), and CEO sustaining outstanding results over a long period of time, (Great).
Both leaders select talented partners, and capitalize on their associates' expertise.
Good leaders submit their partners to their views. (An analogy can be made with good riders).
Rather, great leaders adjust their view to fully benefit from their partners' skill.
Good riders may at the best, lead great horses to good performances. Rather, great riders are upgrading good horses to great achievements.

"Good to Great" Dressage
"The Hidden Potential" (DVD)
"When I saw the horse for the first time, I wondered how such a great athlete could exhibit so mediocre gaits." Everyone around him blamed fatality: "It is the way he is."
Non it was not "the way he is." Like thousands of his pairs, the horse was a good athlete submitted to systems unrelated to actual knowledge fo the equine physiology.
He was a good horse that conventional approaches downgraded to mediocrity.
His reeducation moved away from stereotypes. He was not energetically driven onto the bit. Rather, he learned to master the biomechanical properties of his vertebral column.
Most equestrian education's principles are based on the thought that the horses' hind leg are producing the greatest amount of upward forces, carrying the horse toward balance control and lightness. By contrast, scientific studies demonstrate that the forelegs are in fact, producing the greatest amount of vertical impulse, (57% for the forelegs and only 43% for the hind legs.)
The horse evolved from the sequences "before" that illustrate the results of conventional views, to the sequences "after" where his reeducation was adapted to actual knowledge of the equine physiology.
Likewise, your horse might be a world class mover.
