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 you 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!
