What Comes First When Training Your Horse?
I remember the excitement I felt when I began working with my pony 'alone' at home in the fields when I was younger. The feeling that anything was possible if I was only willing to put in the consistent effort and work.
And the feeling that there was just so much to do and so little time to do it!
My mind was racing with thoughts of ground pole exercises, schooling movements, jumping grids, fitness training, etc., etc., etc. All of the 'exciting' stuff I had seen other riders get up to in the pony magazines I got as a treat a couple of times a year.
And after speaking with thousands of adult riders over the years, I think they also experience those same feelings. Except as an adult, when training your horse alone, those feelings of initial excitement can often turn into overwhelm pretty quickly!
In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I want to chat about the very first concept I believe all horses and riders should work on in their training. And I want to help you begin to think of this as the absolute foundation of everything else you do with your horse. Especially if you are training your horse alone.

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.
