“That lady has it so easy, her horse is push button!”

Ever hear this phrase? I’m not sure such a thing actually exists. And if it did, it would probably look more like this. A fully trained Grand Prix horse would feel like sitting down in the cockpit of a jet 😳 Just because a horse is trained to a high level does not make them “easy” to ride. Hopefully as you learn how to navigate and operate all these “buttons,” then a horse like this could allow to you feel some amazing things - upper level movements, yes. But mostly they should give you the feel for things like excellent balance, self carriage, suppleness, responsiveness. These are the “basics” you need to feel in order to do any of the fancy movements. If you sit on a “push button” horse and just hope to press the right button and feel an amazing passage or delightful tempi changes, you’re going to be sorely disappointed 😆

With great buttons comes great responsibility. 😂

Thanks to Susan DiFelice Design for this awesome illustration of her amazing “push button” wonder mare.

They're never "just" a lesson horse ❤️

Thank your lesson horse

In this industry, we all too often see the average lesson horse viewed as lesser than or below other horses. Yet, they have the hardest job of any horse.

They do not complain when an unbalanced first time rider mounts for their lesson. They are a calming force for the most timid of riders, promising safety and security. They are patient and kind, allowing riders to grow and evolve in a safe space without fear of making mistakes.

They take the brunt of your “bad day” emotions, without complaint, even though the negative emotions should not be taken out on them in the first place. They would have every right to not perform or act out, yet they are gracious enough to be a shoulder to cry on.

They have the remarkable ability to sense your insecurities and needs, and provide you with the exact ride you need for the day. To teach the lessons you need in that moment, lessons you didn’t even know you needed to learn.

Even on the frustrating days, “when the lesson horse isn’t listening,” they don’t take your accusations to heart. They continue on with their masterful plans to instill humility, critical thinking, and grace in their partner - and you will finally understand that they’re always listening, and they’re always right.

And when you finally graduate to your own fancier horse, take a moment to think of all the lesson horses who brought you to this milestone. They gave you the knowledge, ability, and skill to be where you are right now. And they gave you their heart and soul in the process.

So next time you see a lesson horse, thank them. Give them a pat and a peppermint, a warm hug, and a promise to treat them with respect - for they are the backbone of this industry, and the foundation for all future equestrians.
