The whole Tallahassee equestrian community will be impacted by this loss. May God wrap His arms around all of her friends and family as He welcomes Pat into Heaven. And you can be assured there will be plenty of horses around!

Imagine you’re assigned a partner project in school. Only one of you gets to read the directions for the assignment, and then you have to explain it to your partner in a language that is secondary to both of you. You’d expect some miscommunications and misunderstandings, right?

That’s basically what’s happening while riding a horse. Whether in a lesson or a ride of your own direction, you as the rider are the only one who knows the assignment. It’s then your responsibility to relay that information to your horse, speaking through intention and cues that are a second language to both you and your horse. Your horse doesn’t understand what your trainer is saying he’s supposed to do - he’s relying on you to tell him.

Keep this in mind any time you’re riding and you feel like your horse isn’t listening, or you get frustrated with a missed distance or a sloppy transition. Remember that you’re the only member of this team who knows the assignment, and your horse is relying on you to tell him the game plan. Sometimes we make mistakes in our cues or our timing, we start thinking too many steps ahead or we forget to clue him into the next movement in time. Sometimes the horse is a little distracted, or tired, or not feeling it today. But most of the time, he’s doing his best he can with the information you’re giving him!

We are so proud of the young equestrians that make up the two Interscholastic Equestrian Association teams we are honored to coach! A wonderful evening celebrating the riders of the FSUS Equestrian Team and the Tallahassee Riding Academy! Great time celebrating all of the riders and highlighting the MVP’s, Horsemanship and Sportsmanship winners from each team. Thank you to all of our wonderful parents who do so much to support everyone! And awesome to celebrate our Parent of the Year! Looking forward to next year and more great things with these awesome kids!
