The angle of the elbows Is something to attend Keeping soft and grounded Floating in their bend. Elbows offer hands to horse Fingers gently aid Carried hands guide a course With balance to create Fingernails turned in Pinkie under thumb Elbows rest beside the waist Swinging like a plumb Straightness in our arms Blocks the hand and wrist, then Tension in our shoulders Makes a horse resist. Hands create a dialogue Not to fix and hold The elbow angle is the key If the truth be told.
