The Core of Horses

Romy de Lange is an equestrian with a vision. Soon enough questions started coming by from people that where curious how I did sort of things with my horses.

She inspires to bring people closer to their horse by sharing information on social media or guiding people in real-life lessons & trainingsweekends hosted by herself under the name The Core of Horses. It all started with me documenting my horse-life on social media and sharing my daily life to an audience that actually showed the same interest as me with horses. How do you fix a sort of problem?

How do I train my horses? How do you teach something to a horse? And lots of more things. On that point I started sharing more informative posts besides my daily horse-life. Quick enough people from the Netherlands started sending me messages if I teach on location. I started doing that a couple of times and I felt so passionated about it that I decided that I wanted to do this more often. I think on that point Equine Motions started coming of the ground. Now I host three trainingsweekends, The Weekend of the Horse, every summer where people from the Netherlands & Belgium come together with their horse to learn from me & their horse. Every trainingsweekend is filled with different personalities which gives me the opportunity to only get more experiences with different kinds of horses. You don't come to with the goal to reach a certain level. You come to me to learn about your horse and then take steps forward because you understand each other more & more every day. That's my goal!

We’re often so focused on getting the answer we want that we forget to question the question itself. When a horse refuses, blocks or doesn’t understand, more pressure isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the key is not to push harder, but to change the question. 🗣️

What works for one horse might be completely wrong for another. The same question can require a completely different approach depending on the horse standing in front of you. Good training starts with learning how to speak the language of the individual horse in front of you. 🪞🐴

Say hello to Fay! She’s a Dutch Warmblood, 5 y/o and definitely a horse with temperament. She’s with me in training to build a solid base under the saddle after not being ridden for 6 months.

I’ve known Fay & her owner for some time now, and we’ve prepared Fay on the ground first. Her main challenge was that she gets overwhelmed quickly by stimuli in her environment. When that happened, she could explode both under the saddle and on the ground. Physically, her haunches need more strength, which sometimes became a challenge on its own, as fatigue and difficulty could also trigger insecurity in Fay.

In these clips, it may look like I’m simply riding some straight lines, but in fact I’m constantly focusing on where her haunches are. I’m working with tiny cues to straighten her and, in the corners, asking her haunches to move in or out.

Sometimes making a horse stronger isn’t about giving them more difficult exercises. If I overload Fay with difficult questions, she will probably become overwhelmed. So first, I establish my cues in exercises she already understands. Later on, I can use those same cues within a different exercise or a more challenging situation.

She’s a very fun horse to work with and, for me, a very interesting case. She’s on her way to finding more balance, both mentally & physically. 🧠⚖️💪🏼

Lateral work can not only make your horse stronger physically but it creates body awareness that allows your horse to also become mentally stable. Lightness starts with body awareness. ✨

And a really fun announcement for my Dutch followers: 🇳🇱 Hoe tof om te delen dat ik samen met een demo mag geven op Equiday! Samen met zijn paarden James en Rumba geven we je een kijkje hoe wij naar lichtheid werken in real time. Het maakt het extra leuk dat het om twee totaal verschillende paarden gaat (zowel mentaal als fysiek). Siem rijd James onder het zadel en ik op de grond. Dus of je nou geïnteresseerd bent in rijden of grondwerk; dit een informatieve demo voor iedereen! In real time laten we je zien hoe we ons paard optimaler hun lijf laten gebruiken. Wie zie ik daar? 🤩

Not everything that looks like an answer will actually help you and your horse move forward. In a world full of online training methods, it’s easy to believe that the solution is just one program away. We all want clarity, progress and that feeling of finally understanding what to do. But what happens when it still doesn’t work the way it did in the videos? This post is not about telling you to stop learning, but about becoming more aware of how you learn. Because sometimes the missing piece isn’t another method, but something within ourselves. Horses have a way of reflecting what we bring into the training, whether we realize it or not. And that reflection can be uncomfortable, but also incredibly valuable. Not every answer that is sold to you is the one you truly need. And not every method is designed to make you independent. If you’re willing to look a little deeper, this might change the way you approach your training.

Quick fixes often feel helpful in the moment, especially when pressure is high. They promise control, clarity, and fast results. But comfort is not the same as progress. When we silence a warning sign, we don’t remove the cause behind it. In training, shortcuts can hide imbalance rather than resolve it. What looks calm or obedient may actually be compensation. Over time, those compensations shape how the body moves and copes. Real improvement asks for patience, not restriction. It asks us to look deeper than what’s visible. This post shows why quick fixes rarely stay harmless. 🧠🐴🐎
