The next step in your training process is to teach your horse to turn away from you to both the left and right sides. This means you are essentially asking the horse to turn in such a way that its hindquarters are facing you while simultaneously moving in a new, specified direction. It is natural to wonder if it is unsafe to have the horse's hips and heels directed towards you during this exercise. Additionally, you might have heard from other experienced trainers that it is always advisable to work with the horse while it is facing you, rather than from behind, which can raise concerns about safety and control.
