That was a long time ago. It is nice to see her in these videos. Her direction of riding is the basis of many that have come and gone after her. You can do all the ideas and teachings right in your living room, with the video on. You don't need a horse or a saddle. Story: I was taking lessons in Hunter/Jumper, and at the same time, I was taking lessons in dressage at another barn. I had gone up to VT to spend a week with Sally, and I didn't tell my Jumping teacher that I went. When I got up on my horse, and took a spin around the arena, her mouth hung open in stun. She was absolutely totally speechless. That was how good Sally's lessons were. They totally changed my riding. Yes, the true label is Centered Riding. I got on my saddle and my life had changed, for the better. Amazing.
