🖤 What Does Connection Feel Like to You? 🐴💫

Is it the weight of the rein, alive, but soft?
The breath you take before a half-halt, and the moment they say, “I’m with you”?
That invisible thread from seat to soul, when your aids disappear… and only harmony remains?

We talk about connection all the time in dressage.
It’s written into every training scale.
But how often do we stop and truly ask ourselves:
✨ What does it actually feel like?
And should it feel the same for every rider? Every horse?

For some, it’s a steady contact and the swing of the back.
For others, it’s the energy that builds in the stillness coiled, waiting, ready.
And sometimes, it’s in the transitions that feel like floating,
when neither of you is doing anymore. You’re just being.

In this sport of details, geometry, and endless refinement…
It’s easy to lose sight of the fact that connection isn’t just technical.
It’s emotional. Intuitive. Honest.

💬 So I’m asking: What does connection feel like in your hands, your seat, your heart?
Do you chase it in every ride or has it become the quiet why behind all the work?

Let’s talk about the real magic of dressage. 🖤👇
Because behind every movement… is a moment of feeling.

A handful of sales horses have found their new homes so we have room for more!!

Do you have a horse that needs a different person or a different job? Sophia Navit Dressage currently has multiple openings for consignment horses in Woodbine MD! Don’t worry about having to message potential buyers and getting ghosted by tire kickers, leave that to me and my team! We’d be a great fit if you have a horse that fits any of the following criteria:

1. The one you bought to “learn together” on. You know, the one you dust the cob webs off of when you’re feeling yourself. Look, we’ve all bought pants at one point in our lives with the hope that we’d fit in to them later and to “motivate” us to eat little slices of cucumber for breakfast. The truth is, forget those pants. You don’t need those pants. You are beautiful the way you are and so is that four legged rocket ship. Send it to me and find something that makes you feel like the queen you are.

2. The one that you don’t quite “click with.” It’s a bay, I already know it’s a bay. We’ve all had that horse with unlimited potential, but never truly jived with under saddle. If you don’t consistently look forward to your lessons, send me a PM. Don’t feel guilty, they can’t all be our heart horse. As a professional, I know this horse is a bay, and I give you permission to go find something your trainer will loathe but you enjoy posting on instagram and spending your life’s savings on.

3. The young one that really be testing the limits of that liability policy. Listen, you have nothing to prove. I do. Send it to me and let me and my staff (which happens to include a lawyer) sort out the sillies. Don’t get me wrong, I fully believe you are capable of backing your baby, but do you really want to sit on an opinionated meat-wagon with the emotional tolerance of a fruit fly? If you’ve ever asked your veterinarian for a personal dose of adequan to deal with this horse, send it to me.

4. The backburner project that is now inexplicably on fire. You probably bought this one on the papers or because it shared the name of your high school sweetheart and AT THE TIME the universe was trying to tell you something. This one is the definition of “has talent, needs direction.” Girl, Mercury is no longer in the microwave. Go live your best life and send me the horse.

5. It’s small. It’s mean (but you sort of get it). You bought it because ponys are adorable and who wouldn’t want one? It launches children for sport. Fear me, I am the anti-lawn dart. And lucky for everyone, I never outgrew ponies.

TL; DR: Please send me a PM or contact 2024945722 if you have a talented problem child and I will give it a job and help you find it a good home. I’m open to creative arrangements for motivated sellers. 🙂 Happy riding.
