Hold Onto That Feeling 💛

Remember the pure joy of ponies—the cuddles, the trust, the quiet moments that made you fall in love with horses in the first place? That feeling doesn’t have to fade.

No matter how polished the horse or how serious the training, never lose sight of the simple magic that started it all.

Can you reliably describe and ride your warm-up routine? Why do you do what you do? How does it prepare you and your horse for work?
Warm-ups are often overlooked, but they’re the key to a productive session. They’re not just about loosening up—they set the tone, build connection, and prepare both horse and rider for what’s to come. How do you ride with intention from the very first step?

Tack Room Talk Have you ever noticed how your horse mirrors your mood? 🐴

If you’re tense, they feel it. If you’re calm, they trust it. That’s why mindset training is as critical as physical preparation. Together, let’s develop tools to manage stress and build confidence, both in and out of the arena. This is one of the tack rooms at Stutteri Ask Denmark. This work of beauty defiantly makes me feel calm!

It’s not just about how hard you train; it’s about how smart you recover. 🧘‍♀️

Horses need downtime to process their learning, and so do you. Take time to reflect on this week’s lessons. What went well? What can you adjust? A clear mind leads to clear communication in the saddle.

Midweek Motivation ✨ “The way you speak to yourself matters as much as how you train your horse.” ✨
When things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to fall into self-criticism. But remember, just like your horse thrives on positive reinforcement, so do you. Celebrate small wins, reflect with kindness, and keep moving forward.
