Using Transitions to Improve Your Posture

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2023/02/13

For many riders, posture is something that they rarely think a whole lot about. It’s a basic that you ‘set and forget’. Meaning, you figure out what it is and how it feels, and then you are diligent in putting it onto autopilot. Which then frees you up to focus on other things. And this works well; until it doesn’t… Transitions, particularly between gaits, have this special ability to shine a spotlight on any weaknesses either horse or rider has, and riders posture is often the focus of this

2023/02/06

What is it about a swinging lower leg that makes it so annoying for riders, horses, and trainers the world over?! I mean, everyone has their specific ‘riding issues’ and deals with them accordingly. And yet, a swinging lower leg has the potential to have riders stuck on a plateau forever! I don’t need to tell you how important it is to have a secure lower leg when riding. It is vital for the safety, communication, and, maybe, mental health of all involved! If you have been struggling with a lower

Simple Tips to Improve Your Hands & ‘Fixes’ for Those...

2023/01/30

Your hands are an aid in your riding. So understanding why the way you hold your reins and how to judge the height of your hands when riding is important. And realizing how much your hand aids are impacting and affecting your riding can change everything. As riders, one of the first things we learn is how to ‘hold’ the reins. However, often the ‘why’ behind all of this is never really explained to us. Your Hands Connect So, it’s obvious that your hands are the connection between you and your

Fear and Horse Riding

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2023/01/23

Has fear or lack of confidence ever held you back in your riding? If so, you will know how debilitating this can be. Sometimes it’s caused by a past experience. Or it can be created when we think of all the things that ‘can’ potentially happen. Whatever the cause, I think that it is important to recognize that this particular challenge won’t simply vanish on its own. Sure, sometimes it can seem like it has shifted or even disappeared. But more often than not, it is simply buried and will rear

Today's Riding Plan for You and Your Horse...

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2023/01/16

"So, what are you planning on doing today?". It's a question I ask at least 5 or 6 times a week to different riders. And, let's be honest here, so often the answer is not all that great! "I'm not sure. We'll see when we start working." If that's you right regarding your next ride with your horse, I am giving you 'the look'! The look I reserve for riders who say they want to achieve and do all of the things... But they continue to wing it when it comes to their training and their responsibilities

What is 'Doing It' for You and Your Horse This Year?

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2023/01/09

It's always the same. The same sentences are being spoken and written about the same things. And I've been thinking about why it is this way. Why do most riders make the same 'resolutions' year in and year out? Rather than growing, building, and developing so that they get to create something different each year they are together? How about this year, you try something different for you and your horse? Something that you can feel a sense of accomplishment about? Commit to 'Doing It'... Now,

Making the Most of Time with Your Horse

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/12/05

There are certain times of the year when circumstances mean you can find yourself with either more or less time with your horse. December, August, and April are just a few that pop into my mind. Some riders find they have more time, and other riders have significantly less! It just depends on your unique circumstances and situation. What is key to remember is that whatever side of the time conundrum you find yourself on, making the time with your horse count is important. Especially if you hope to

Safely Including Jumping in Your Horse's Training

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/11/28

Whether you enjoy jumping or not, the fact of the matter remains... When approached correctly and consistently, jumping can significantly benefit horses and riders in a long-term training program even if there is no intention of actually 'jumping' competitively. And this is true regardless of discipline, training level, and experience. When introduced the right way, and then strategically used jumping is a great way to add diversity to the training - and physically and mentally develop the team.

And some of those things, online horse programs, are just so, well, darn good... Right? Hmmm... Maybe too good?!

And they don't have to be 'fancy' or complex. In fact, there are a few basic exercises you can begin working on introducing, or refining today that will help you to really begin utilizing lunging as a training tool for you and your horse.

Using Lunging to Help Your Horse Build Responsibility

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/11/08

As both a rider and trainer of your horse, one of your responsibilities is to help your horse build responsibility. In order for riders and their horses to take their training further, both sides of the team need to show up and work together. This cannot happen if we, the riders, are trying to control all of the moving parts. And so, this can bring up a few questions for riders... How can I begin to help my horse work 'with' me, rather than just 'for' me? And how can I develop his confidence so

3 Groundwork Exercises to Train Your Horse

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/10/31

Just last week, I noticed a rider literally dragging their horse from the stables towards the arena. The rider was about a meter in front of the horse's head. Her face was red with effort! And her horse was literally going nowhere slowly. It occurred to me that so many riders make things really difficult for themselves by not having a few ground rules in place when it comes to their horse and their expectations. And what better place to work on ground rules than on the ground? Beside your horse

Stop Trying to Control Your Horse!

2022/10/24

For years, I was all about control when it came to horses. I wanted to understand how to control them better, and how I could help riders do this… Until, one day, I realized I was working under a false pretense! You see, I figured something out. It was like an ‘oh wow’ moment. There is no way to control a horse – or at least a way to do this that encourages the development and training of horse and rider. And I really and truly believe that if more riders could understand this, they can make

Whether it comes down to circumstances, weather, or location, finding yourself without a flat, good-quality, horse arena to train in, can often derail everything. It can feel like every single exercise you see or hear about requires acres of space and dozens of poles! And, maybe even more frustrating is when you begin to feel things coming together, only to slip or unbalance due to questionable footing or ground levels.

Groundwork for Horses and Rhythm in Training

2022/10/10

Rhythm is genuinely one of those things that can seem so simple on the surface. And, don't get me wrong, rhythm is a fairly simple concept. However, when we begin applying it to horses and riding, it is truly eye-opening just how deep we can go with the idea. A little like groundwork for horses... And, because rhythm is something we can approach from different perspectives and filters, the possibilities are pretty endless.

3 Keys To More Consistent Contact

2022/10/04

Contact can often look effortless for some horses and riders. And yet, for many other riders, consistent contact can seem like an enigma. Any efforts at consistency tend to lead to heaviness. Or a complete lack of any contact! So where is this fine line between consistent, quality contact and washing lines? In order to develop contact with your horse, I feel that you must first understand what a 'good' contact is. This can often be confusing for many riders, so let's start there... Read More..

And yet, for many riders, improvement is frustratingly slow! The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way.
