Getting into Canter on Your Easygoing or Lazy Horse

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/08/29

Getting into canter on an easygoing or lazy horse can be exhausting! And while we do love our laidback equines… Can we all be honest in admitting how, sometimes, just a little more enthusiasm would change everything? The good news is that you can quickly begin to change this in your horse. You see, often, the trot to canter is often a symptom of a bigger issue – a lack of responsiveness. Increasing your horse’s responsiveness is possible. It will take a consistent approach from you – and the

When Your Horse 'Runs' From Trot into the Canter

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/08/22

Riding, just like life, is about enjoying the journey rather than just the destination. However, when you're transitioning from the trot into the canter - and your horse seems determined to show you just how fast he can actually trot beforehand; well, the journey is not all that enjoyable! I don't know of a single rider who enjoys the 'rush' of a horse running from trot to canter. It is bouncy, unbalancing, and, sometimes, scary. Also, it more often than not sets up a canter that feels like all of

Setting Up Each Ride as a Stepping Stone in Your...

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/08/15

Every time you interact with your horse, there is the possibility of improving your communication and understanding. However, planning and intention must be present for each ride to be an actual stepping stone. Having one without the other will not give you the outcome you are hoping for. Creating the plan and setting the intention is key to each ride becoming a valuable link in the chain of progress as you train your horse. And this begins with you deciding where you are going and how you want

Becoming More Balanced without Stirrups

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/08/08

There is a point in every rider's journey where balance becomes less about staying on and more about increasing overall effectiveness. However, in order to positively influence the horse, the rider needs to begin working on developing better balance. I feel that one of the best ways to do this is by developing independent aids. Independent from both the influence of each other's movement. And independent from any potential 'speed wobbles' our horse might experience when working together. So, all

How Your Horses Talents Can Help Develop His Weaker...

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/08/01

We all have talents. Things that seem to come naturally to us and that we excel at. Your horse is the same. And, in my experience, when we approach training our horses with the idea that we are helping them develop their talents, everyone is happier. Unfortunately, it is common practice for many people to focus on weaknesses. Both in the human and in the horse! And so many riders create training programs and riding plans based on what their horse is not so talented at doing. Doing something over and

2022/07/25

I find it a little mind-boggling how, the longer we spend developing ourselves as riders, the more we need to unlearn. Especially when it comes to those first one or two initial horse riding lessons! Using your hands and arms to 'steer' the horse is one of those things. And, flexion is often one of the best concepts to help riders become clearer on this. And more open to other possibilities when it comes to their aids, their riding, and steering their horse. Read More... Get Support & Guidance in

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/07/18

Have you noticed how, for many people, the longer they spend in the saddle, the less curious they become about a lot of things ‘riding related’? Now, other riders are the exact opposite, they want to go deeper and further in all aspects of riding. Which is fantastic. If you have found yourself doing something for the sake of just doing something with your horse, I want to challenge you today. I want to give you a simple, extremely powerful way to both gain clarity, and assess yourself while you

Train Your Horse in Twenty Minutes or Less

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/07/04

Time, or the lack thereof, is often the number one thing that keeps riders from training their own horses. And while time is an essential part of the puzzle in order to develop and grow your horse successfully, often we overestimate how much of it we actually need. In fact, one of the reasons riders often don’t have enough time to work with their horse has more to do with a lack of planning and less about a lack of time. So, if you are currently in a season of your life where time seems to always

Improving Working Contact While Out Hacking

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/06/27

I am all for intentional, relaxing hacks with your horse. And I also think that it’s worth remembering that not all hacks have to be for ‘doing nothing’. In fact, there are some things that may actually happen more easily when out of the arena. Working contact is, for some riders and horses, one of those things. We are always working towards soft, intuitive, and responsive contact when we ride. Contact that can shift and adapt depending on what the specific focus is. Developing that sort of

2022/06/20

Why is it that, as equestrians, we often want to immediately have what we see others with? And I’m not just talking about saddles, boots, and gloves… But the actual ‘horse’, exercises, movements, training, and level of performance. We ‘know’ that time is required, but gosh, time can mean a lot of things to a lot of different riders! When you are working alone riding and training your horse, strategically using your time is vitally important if you are to make progress. Today, I want to suggest

It can be frustrating when you know exactly what you want to achieve when training or retraining your horse, but it seems to be taking ‘forever’! It seems that no matter how much you explain your horse, he’s not ‘getting it’. Training or retraining your horse is something that takes time. And, sometimes, it is our own impatience or actions that actually keep things stuck where progress is concerned. Today I want to cover the 4 most common causes that may cause you to become a little stuck when

Out on the Trail; Harnessing the Different Energy

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/06/06

Anyone who has ridden in an arena for a prolonged period knows how different the energy feels when they finally get out on the trail. What may have been feeling a little flat and, even, deflated, suddenly comes back to life. Both horse and rider seem to become more keenly self-aware. And more responsive to external elements. Rather than being afraid of this energy or worried about it, you can rather begin to intentionally channel that energy to improving your training & riding. By

Establishing Flow in the Space Between Jumps

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/05/30

Jumping is one of those things most riders love or hate. In my experience, their personal preferences depend on how well they can use the space between jumps. If every jumping track feels like a tug of war from start to finish, it’s easy to see how jumping itself won’t be all that enjoyable. The same applies if the rider feels like they are doing the work for both themselves and their very uninterested, laid-back, and uninspired horse! One of the best ways to improve your jumping is to work on

Why Improving Your Accuracy Will Improve Your...

2022/05/23

Accuracy can seem like a dull and boring concept when riding horses. Sure, if you are going to compete in dressage or show jumping, accuracy can become really important. But what about if you are simply a rider, working alone with your horse, trying to improve your overall skills? Is accuracy still as important? I'm going to say yes, accuracy is important. And it is an excellent way of actually establishing and building engagement with your horse. Now, granted, accuracy and engagement might

How to Become a Better Rider in 90 Days

2022/05/20

It’s probably safe to assume that you want to improve as a rider, right? That, if becoming a better rider in 90 days was guaranteed, you’d probably follow the plan and do the work? Well, the good news is that, regardless of where you are in your riding right now, you can indeed improve over the coming 90 days (or 3 months). However, it will involve a little planning, preparation, and commitment in order to make it all happen. Using the previous 90 days in your riding to create a plan to improve

Cantering on the Lunge? Here’s How to Make it Work…

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/05/19

Here’s a confession; for years I used to think of cantering while on the lunge as just something I did to ‘finish the session’. It was like something that I could check off a list. There was no intention behind it (only to get it done), And with any cantering happening while on the lunge, there was definitely no thought put into using the time or gait to develop the horse. Which, now, seems so bizarre! Why would I have even bothered with it when there was no set focus or intention?! It really does

Regularly Revisiting the Basics; Why You NEED to Do...

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2022/03/20

It can seem like something that only novice or beginner riders would worry themselves with; revisiting the basics. After all, surely there's a point where, as riders, we can 'set and forget' a couple of things in our riding? Basics like position and the aids. Or trotting and cantering... And I think a lot of this stems from the fact that we see the basics as being, somehow, for beginners. For riders who are only just getting started on their journey. Surely not riders who have been hard at work

If you have even been at the other end of a lunge line to a horse who is adamant to show you exactly how fast he can go on a circle… You will know all about ‘that’ feeling! The one where every fiber of your being is screaming at you to ‘stop the horse’. And yet, it feels like there is absolutely nothing you can do! Intentionally mixing cantering and lunging together is not for the faint of heart! It often requires nerves of steel – especially at the beginning of the journey… The good news

Do you have days where, after you get home, sit down, and think over the day’s events, you think to yourself “Why did I react like that?!”? I know I do, even now. I find that if I allow my emotions to run things, the chances of everything turning out exactly as I would have two chances. Slim and none! This is why I began, a few years ago now, creating planned responses in my riding. Simply put, I began thinking about what ‘could’ or ‘might’ happen… And how the ‘best version’ of me would respond
