So well explained by a talented & dear friend of mine 💙

Some food for thought for y’all!

• Lightness with your hands and body •

I always try to use the analogy with riders of driving your car Vs riding your horse with the reins and your body.

Confused?.. 🤔

Let me explain… 😅

Have you ever gone to try out a new car, you put your foot on the break and suddenly get je**ed back in your seat, you realise then that the break is far more sensitive then your old car so you adjust how much pressure you put on the pedal for next time and before not too long you’ve got the feel of it. As you are driving along you have to make a right turn in 50m, you start to gently put your foot on the break and while doing so with your hands you smoothly (no death grip on the steering wheel) guide the car around the corner.

No vehicle drives the same but It’s effortless and second nature to you to drive a vehicle.

I try to use this example when I see riders who’s knuckles are going white from clasping the reins so tight or pull on the horse to stop like they are about to go over a 20ft drop if they don’t.

“Asking” our horses to stop with a soft feel or guiding them between our reins with gentle hands is so important to their learning, of course if they don’t listen the first, second or third time (which if you’ve been pulling on them for a while they no doubt won’t stop straight away as they will be anticipating you pulling on them) you may need to increase your pressure but it’s SO important to “ask” with a gentle feel first, to be smooth LIKE your foot gently easing on the breaks while your hands lightly guide the car to turn the corner.

This WILL eliminate resistance in them (pulling against your hands, chucking their head up, running through the shoulders for examples) and allows a relationship of trust and willingness to be built between the two of you.

I always say to riders who are quite nervous but want to practise being more relaxed and gentle through their hands and body, to start in a smaller area, re; round pen, then move to an arena and then try it out on a trail ride.

Build that trust, practise gentle hands, deep breaths to relax your body & eliminate the resistance in your horse and in yourself.

Make it second nature to ride your horse this way, like driving your car, effortless.
