A lot of stir this weekend in the industry over some video clips of a training session with decorated, accomplished and proven master horsewoman Katie Prudent. An insecure and fearful mind will defend against criticism and attack the messenger, while a rider with a learning mindset can view high expectations and direct constructive criticism as a vehicle for their transformation. Remember, your coach WANTS to see you succeed. Katie Prudent is using her expertise to build the next generation. We need this level of discipline and decorum at the highest levels, period. That is how riders of all levels maintain integrity, which is the most basic responsibility of anyone choosing to participate in these sports.

If your coach is tough on you, it means they believe in you. It means they are taking your goals seriously. Most importantly, it means they are advocating for the horse.

Pressure can be intimidating, and being humbled is never fun. However, avoiding them can mean missing out on some of the most important lessons that this sport can give us.

Standing in the midst of her gymnastics course, show jumping legend Katie Prudent put her hand up to her purple visor to block out the sun as she squinted up at six young riders trotting around her. Her floral shirt blew in the warm breeze, and she took a deep breath before she spoke.

Approaches to "problem fixing" always start with seeing things from your horse's perspective. This is a good read!

BY ADAM FOX, PH.D. When training a horse to load a trailer, people often push and pull the horse, whack its butt with a broom, or worse. This sometimes works, because when the horse gets on the trailer it escapes this aversive stimulation. There is the potential and perhaps more likely alternative o...

There is no such thing as the “wrong horse”.

Not every horse that comes into your life will be exactly what you want, in fact very few will be, but whether the come temporarily, or stay forever, every horse comes for a reason.

That reason is not always clear. It can feel like all some horses bring is stress, pain and heartache. It can sometimes feel so ‘wrong’ that you can’t see how any good could ever come from it.

But the most valuable lessons come from the ‘wrong’ horses.

When you get up after eating dirt after being thrown for the third time that ride, you’ll find resilience you never knew you had.

When your tired of sitting at the side lines, watching your friends having fun whilst your horse is still chapters behind, you’ll find patience within yourself that you didn’t know was there.

When your sick of spending every ride questioning your ability and second guessing yourself, you’ll dig deep and find the self belief that’s always been hidden inside you.

And when you meet a horse that is so broken, even giving the very best of yourself won’t fix it, you’ll find a selflessness in you to make sure that horse never knows anything but love.

Patience, resilience, determination, selflessness aren’t easy lessons, but we’re better riders for learning them.

You may think you’ve got the “wrong horse”, but you’ve actually got the right horse to teach the hardest lessons.

Learn well.
