Cody Crow assesses whether a new horse knows how to side pass and works through the process of teaching it if she doesn't. His first attempt to push her laterally with his leg gets a backward response instead, which is one of the most common early reactions from a horse that doesn't yet understand the cue. Rather than repeating the same ask and getting the same wrong answer, Cody incorporates forward motion into the equation. He walks her forward first to establish movement, then adds leg to push her laterally before releasing the pressure and sending her forward again. That cycle of forward motion paired with the lateral ask helps the horse find the right answer without getting her feet stuck, one of the most common issues when teaching the side pass. He works through the same steps in both directions, building understanding and responsiveness on each side. A straightforward and effective approach to introducing one of the foundational maneuvers in the ranch horse and trail pen.
