What is self compassion?
It's made up of 3 core components:

Self Kindness – being gentle and understanding with ourselves rather than harshly critical and judgmental.

Common humanity – Feeling contented with others in this experience that is life rather than feeling alienated and isolated by our suffering.

Mindfulness – we use balanced awareness in our experience of life rather than exaggerating or ignoring our pain.

Is this something Equestrians need?

The next scale of training after rhythm which we looked at last week is SUPPLENESS. I think this definition from the US Dressage Federation sums up the meaning of suppleness really well:

"You know your horse is supple when he willingly accepts your aids with his soft mouth, his muscles are loose, he's able to stretch forward and down and he feels balanced, using his joints actively. A supple horse has a relaxed look to his eyes, ears, mouth and tail." (US Dressage Federation, 2019).

Did you know that horses have lightning fast reflexes? They can go from standing still to delivering a powerful kick in just 0.3 seconds when they need too! It would take us as a human over 5 times longer at roughly 1.6 seconds.

"High performers aim for these slips ups to be a comma, rather than a full stop."
James Clear, Habits expert.
Failure will happen to all of us and the failure itself is not important, it's how you deal with it that matters.

The first Scale we focus on as part of the Scales of Training is Rhythmn. This focuses on the regularity of the beat within the gait and what is correct for each pace is different and as follows:
4-time in Walk
2-time with a moment of suspension in Trot
3- time with a moment of suspension in Canter.
4 - time in Gallop
The rhythm should be regular so that the tempo remains the same.

Something to make you laugh for this weeks . Did you know that in Oklahoma, it’s illegal to let a donkey sleep in a bathtub after 7pm! :-). No problem before 7pm though......!

Did you know research shows that spending time with our horses can reduce our heart rate, blood pressure and result in a calming of physical symptoms of conditions including stress and anxiety.

So for This weeks we're focusing on LEG - YIELDING into the corners.
Once your warmed up start by going large in the school on whichever is your strongest rein in trot. As you ride past A, turn and ride up the three - quarter line, keeping your horse straight until just after B. Now leg - yield out to the track at M and then continue to use your leg yield aids so that you can ride deep into the M - C corner. If you and your horse feel balanced and confident repeat the exercise from the C end of the school and then repeat the whole thing on the other rein. If your struggling after the first part of the exercise add a 20 metre circle in to restore the correct way of going.

As always enjoy and please let me know how you get on 🙂.

Horses can only breath through their nose and not their mouth like us humans. They are known as “obligate nose breathers.”

It's quite natural to be scared of the unknown but why not try flipping your perspective and instead of thinking of it as the unknown describe it as the space left to be explored. Suddenly it could sound a lot more inviting and exciting :-).
