Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/06/22

As a rider, it can be easy to think that the only way you can improve your skills is to ride. And yes, riding is important; obviously! However, you can also use lunging as a way to develop your coordination and aids. And not just on the ground, but also to benefit you and your horse when you’re in the saddle as well. Lunging gives you a different perspective when you ride. And often, this one simple change can be enough to burst through limitations in your riding. You see, when you are riding,

Artificial Aids when Working With Horses

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/06/15

For some reason, many riders have a negative story around artificial aids. And yet, most riders use artificial ads on a daily basis, whether riding or on the ground with their hose. What is important to remember is that artificial aids are neither positive nor negative. They just are what they are. And you can use them to create a positive or negative reinforcement with your horse. And, let’s be honest here, you as well. So in light of all that, I want you to begin being a little more

Both you and I have a voice. I think it is important to begin using our voice right now to help our sport diversify. To change the status quo of what an ‘equestrian’ looks like. As I write this, early June 2020, it has been a difficult few weeks. So much hurt has been and is being felt by so many people all over the world. It is still being felt right now. And, importantly, it was being felt before now for so many equestrians. It is just that now, it is being spoken about. This hurt has been and

Your Half Halt on the Ground with Your Horse

2020/06/01

Sprinkled liberally all over the arena and every ride. That is how important the half halt is to your riding. However, it is also an important aid on the ground with your horse. And, it consciously practicing it on the ground can really help to clarify the aid for you, as a rider. So many riders think that the half halt is only for the saddle. It is an aid that exclusively happens when communication is coming from above with regards to their horse. However, I am a huge believer in groundwork and

Heels Down; The horse riding basic that many riders...

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/05/25

It’s probably one of the first things you were told on your first ride. It is also, for many riders, a misunderstood concept. The truth of ‘heels down’ is that once you can correctly master it, it is an absolute game-changer for everything else in your riding. It is that important. How much your heel is down will depend on what you are doing at any given time. What doesn’t change is that the weight is dropped into the heel. Always. It is a pretty easy thing to do. Heels down. And it is also one of

Connection in Your Riding; Seat and Leg Aids

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/05/18

Have you ever thought about what you can feel, in the saddle as you ride your horse? The physical connection points you have with your horse each time you’re in the saddle. Often we can become so caught up with our aids and what we ‘should’ be doing, that we forget to focus on the actual points of physical connection between you and your horse. And the impact these connection points are having on each ride. The first thing I am going to suggest is to actually mount up and simply allow your horse to

So, you’ve been out of the saddle? And now - you’re ready to get back on the horse. Firstly, congratulations! Whether your time on the ground was due to the pandemic or due to some other life circumstance, returning to riding is a great feeling and time in your life. I personally felt a buzz of anticipation when I got back into the saddle after both of my boys were born. I made the decision not to ride during each pregnancy, so finally getting back felt great. But there were a few challenges

Your Canter to Trot Transition

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/05/04

The canter to trot transition is the one transition that so many riders don’t ever think about until they are in the midst of it. So much focus and attention are put into getting into the canter, and yet the ‘getting out of the canter’ is just left to chance. Today I want to give you a few ideas to work on, in the saddle, before you get into the canter that will help you begin riding a smoother and more ‘put together’ canter to trot transition.

The ‘New Normal’. I feel as though we have reached a point where we must begin looking at how we can settle into this period in our lives, rather than wishing for the way things were. You may have to become the trainer for you and your horse. I know that many riders are having to now begin, maybe for the first time, be the trainer, the instructor, the chief planner, as well as the rider. Progress doesn’t just happen.

As equestrians, we may be at the point where we need to face up an uncomfortable truth; ‘normal’ may not be returning for quite a while. Harsh, but true. Simply put, I feel that this means that this is as good a time as any to begin settling in and making yourself comfortable with this 'new normal'. For now, anyway. The lives of so many riders have changed dramatically over the course of the past 90 or so days. Things we took for granted have become coveted luxuries. Time in the saddle is one

Building Confidence in Yourself as an Equestrian

2020/04/06

Confidence is trusting yourself and your abilities to handle the situation you find yourself in. Right now, we are all finding ourselves in a situation that we have never before found ourselves in. The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the landscape for most equestrians. Many riders are no longer able to ride. Many riders are having to go it alone. Some for the first time. All of this is leading to a lot of riders experiencing a crisis of confidence. However, you can do this. With a few simple

This is probably the first time in history that all equestrians find themselves grappling with the same thing. Something has changed for just about everyone. Ironically it has nothing to do with horses and yet it is directly or indirectly impacting almost every rider... Lockdowns, socially isolating, quarantine and social distancing have become terms that we all not only understand, but most of us have experience of implementing over the past weeks. Today, I want to specifically address riders

2020/03/23

For many riders, part leasing, renting or sharing a horse is an affordable way to make horse riding possible. With the current turn of events around the globe, I think that many more riders will turn to this method of ‘horse ownership’ over the coming weeks and months. However, having two or more people sharing a horse has its challenges. This is amplified even more if the riders are at different levels, have different styles or just different goals.

Developing Your Seat in the Canter

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/03/09

The canter can be confusing for many riders. Especially what to do with your seat in the canter. You’re told to ride the horse forward with your seat. But you’re then told to be ‘quiet’ with your seat… So which is it? And how can you begin to develop a more effective seat in the canter? I think that canter is the gait that separates ‘fit’ riders from ‘unfit’ riders. It is definitely more difficult to fake strength and suppleness in the canter, hence a lot of riders having trouble with their seat to

Developing a Rhythm for Your Progress in the Saddle

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians ·

2020/03/02

Success has a rhythm. And, as an equestrian, I know that you know a fair bit about rhythm already. As riders, we spend a lot of our time, whether mindful or not, focusing on rhythm. It is one of the most basic principles when it comes to riding. The ‘up downs’ in trot. Or the ‘1.2.3. Roll' in canter. Rhythm while on the ground. And the rhythm when working through different movements. Yes, rhythm is something we literally ride by every time we are in the saddle. So it makes good sense to begin

As I was creating my notes for this episode, it struck me that there is a strong probability that this sounds a lot like Goldilocks! Too much, too little and ‘just right’ will come up repeatedly as I begin talking about your hands when you are riding. Obviously, we are aiming to achieve ‘Goldilocks’ hands; just right! But seriously, the reason I recorded this episode is due to so many riders struggling with their hands. They are trying to improve contact and connection. However, they are

Have you ever begun sorting something out, a room or a wardrobe perhaps? Halfway through, you find yourself in the middle of a bigger mess than when you began the process. In fact, it is usually at this point that you begin asking yourself why, in the name of all that is good in the world, did you begin in the first place! Your riding is similar. Often, as riders, we need to actually realize that things are going to get messier, sometimes quite a bit messier before they begin turning into what

Have you ever felt that feeling? The feeling you get when you're trotting and you ask for the canter. Rather than your horse simply striking cleanly from the trot to the canter, you experience this extremely uncomfortable and unbalanced trot. A trot that gets faster and faster until finally you almost fall into a canter. Not a great feeling, eh?! Or perhaps, your experience of getting into canter is a little different. Maybe you feel like you are getting thrown forward every time your horse

If you are, give yourself a pat on the back! I’m impressed. However, if you’re not, don’t panic.
