Step Up Your Riding with the Walk to Canter Transition Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

This transition is a personal favorite of mine. To ride and to help other riders as well. I really do believe that the walk to canter transition can help you and your horse to connect more to each other. It can help you to have more clarity over your canter aids, and your horse to become more responsive. And you both to develop so that your training can progress forward.

In fact, the walk to canter can help horses and riders progress in ways that they don't even realize they are. It introduces a certain level of collection to the ride. For many riders, this is one of the best introductions to this as it feels very natural and 'in flow'.

You can begin introducing, or refining, the existing transition from the walk to canter today in your training by focusing on a few different elements.

Could Poor Posture be Ruining Your Transitions to Canter? Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

The transition into canter is one that always gives us opportunities to develop and improve as riders. And it can do the same for our horses as well. And yet, for many riders, improvement is frustratingly slow! The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way.

Canter and transitions into the canter are one aspect of horse riding that can improve quickly, often with just the smallest of tweaks applied.

The key is to be strategic about what you are tweaking. And be willing to look out for the effect it has on yourself, your horse, and the transition in general. One of the simplest 'tweaks' you can apply is around improving your posture when you ride. By simply 'sitting differently' you can transform the transition for the better.

Create More Success When Training Your Horse Alone Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

Are all the months starting to look and feel the same for you and your horse? Especially if you have been training your horse alone! Have you been experiencing a case of 'same ride again' on repeat, over and over again?

If so, here are 5 tips to help you to achieve more when training your horse. Especially if you are working alone without a trainer or a coach to help.

More Success When Training Your Horse Alone

Let's be honest here, we all want 'more'. We want to do things in as little time as possible, and in the easiest way possible as well. And while the following pointers will certainly help you to do this, it is also really important to remember 2 other key ingredients when training horses.

You must factor in time and consistency when working with your horse. If either one of those is missing, any results you achieve will most likely be short-term.

So, while you begin working and using the following formula for each training session, make sure you are coupling it with those two most important of important elements as well.

When Your Horse 'Runs' From Trot into the Canter Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

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 the above as well.

The good news is that there are a few things you can do, starting today, to begin re-schooling this behavior; for you and your horse.

How Your Horses Talents Can Help Develop His Weaker Points Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

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 over again that you struggle with is not a recipe for happiness or success!

How Flexion Can Transform Your Riding & Training with Your Horse Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

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.
