When I headed out to play with Crosby this morning he was laying flat out having a rest. He lifted his head then dropped it down again.
I wasn't in a hurry so I thought I'd just do somethings in the tack room and wait.
Well, I didn't need to wait as I looked out the window to see he was gone.

It's lovely to have your horse want to be with you and keen to know what is going on. šŸ˜

And no it's not breakfast time as he doesn't get feed on the mornings šŸ˜‰

Today didn't go as planned. It seemed like Crosby had turned into a very reactive, snorting dragon overnight, but as a friend reminded me, he is a young horse learning to deal with his emotions. šŸ™

Horses are a living, breathing being, shaped by mood, energy, health, the weather, herd dynamics, and more. Unlike a machine, they donā€™t perform the same way every time. What felt easy yesterday might feel impossible today. That doesnā€™t mean youā€™ve gone backwards; it means youā€™re training a horse, not a robot. šŸ„°

What's in the words?

The words we use are so important, not just when speaking but also written down.

I was interested in seeing an update to the FEI Judging handbook.

Do you see what's missing in the new text? šŸ¤”

Being higher than the horse changes the picture completely. On the ground, weā€™re beside them, where they can easily see and feel safe. Above them, weā€™re suddenly in their blind spot, looming over their head and spine. For a young horse, this can feel threatening or confusing.

Before ever getting on, I introduce height in a slow, thoughtful way:

*Standing on fences, steps, or mounting blocks near them until it feels normal.

*Reaching over the back, patting the opposite side, and moving calmly in and out of their vision.

*Rewarding curiosity when they look, sniff, or stand quietly as I move above them.

The goal is to make ā€œbeing higherā€ just another part of daily lifeā€”not a sudden surprise on backing day.šŸ¤©

This weekend I introduced the driving reins to Crosby. Driving can be one of the most useful tools you can introduce, also called ground-driving or long-reining. This practice builds a bridge between in-hand work and ridden work, helping your horse understand rein cues, steering, and forward energy without the added complexity of a rider on their back.
Itā€™s not about ā€œcontrollingā€ the horse, but about communicating:
*Direction (turning left and right)
*Transitions (walkā€“haltā€“trot)
*Straightness and rhythm
Reducing stress when ridden because the communication system is already familiar.

Driving prepares a horse for a rider by:
*Establishing steering and brakes before a rider is in the saddle.
*Encouraging self-carriage, the horse learns to balance.
*Building confidence by showing the horse they can move forward while still feeling supported by your voice and rein aids.

For me, driving is about more than just preparing the horse "practically" but it also helps physically and another way to strengthen connection. The reins become a line of conversation, where softness and feel matter as much as they do under saddle. Done with patience, driving helps a young horse feel safe, guided, and ready for the next step, carrying a rider.šŸ¤©
