riding alone

It's one of those things that, initially, can sound both amazing and terrifying at the same time. Training your own horse. And maybe you have been thinking about undertaking this journey yourself, yet feel a little apprehensive about what's required.  Because let's face it, it can be a daunting goal to set.  Not only do you have to be 'able' to do it.  You also have to commit to following it through...

In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I will lay out exactly what you need to be able and ready for if you do decide to train or retrain your horse. To decide if you truly have both the rider and trainer skills to make this work for you both.

Seeking Founding Riders...

If you are considering training your horse at home or alone (boarding at a barn, but don't have a regular coach or trainer), make sure you check out the details of my upcoming brand-new program.

I'm looking for a limited number of riders to work in-depth with me and my team as we go through this program for the first time.  Get on the waitlist to be the first to find out all of the information... We start in early September. Join the Waitlist HERE (no obligation to join the program, just be the first to know all of the details :) )

Arena markers are a great tool when working on improving specific things in our riding. Whether it be rhythm and stride length. Or shapes of movements and shapes...  Using strategically placed markers can really improve the overall quality of the work you do with your horse.  However, just like all of the other artificial aids, we can sometimes become a little too dependent on arena markers in our riding.

Remember, arena markers, just like all other artificial aids, are there to 'back up' or 'strengthen your natural aids.  Meaning it is essential you are looking to eventually work without them.

But working without arena markers can be very challenging for many riders!  In this snippet of a Connection Bonus Live training from December 2021, I discuss how you can begin to slowly, but effectively, remove the arena markers from your circles.  This is all without compromising the quality of the work and the training.

Once again, this is a previously recorded training.  My voice is still quite hoarse.  I really do appreciate your patience with this and I hope it serves you.

Happy Riding
