This timeless quote is a reminder of the patience, consistency, and kindness required in our partnership with horses.

As riders, we often seek perfection, but this philosophy teaches us that progress lies in celebrating the smallest achievements. Asking often helps to establish clarity and communication with your horse, while being content with small steps forward builds trust and understanding.

The magic happens in the reward—generous praise and positive reinforcement inspire our horses to willingly offer more, creating a harmonious partnership built on respect and mutual effort.

Let this quote inspire us to approach every ride with humility, patience, and gratitude 🌟

Mistakes are an inevitable part of horse riding and training, and they hold value far beyond the moments of frustration they might bring. Each misstep—whether it’s an uneven transition, a missed cue, or a wonkey movement is a lesson in disguise. Dressage, at its core, is not about perfection; it’s about partnership, growth, and the pursuit of harmony between horse and rider.

When you make a mistake, it’s a sign that you’re pushing boundaries, trying new things, and daring to improve. A perfect test teaches you little, but an imperfect one offers countless opportunities to learn and strengthen your connection with your horse. Mistakes are not failures; they are stepping stones to mastery.

Even the most experienced riders stumble at times, and every grand prix champion began with unsteady circles and uncertain hands. What sets them apart is not flawless performance but their ability to embrace errors, reflect on them, and come back stronger.

So, when you make a mistake in dressage, take a deep breath. Smile, pat your horse, and remind yourself that every journey worth taking has many moments that are imperfection. Progress isn’t about never falling; it’s about riding with a better understanding each time you do.

Horses reflect, teach, and guide us toward becoming our best selves IF we are willing to listen.

Horses respond to energy.
They are energy beings and respond to the energy we bring to the barn, the ride, the pasture, etc.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬:
What energy do I bring to my horse?
What energy is my horse bringing to me?

We must truly listen to what they are trying to tell us.

If we pay attention, we can learn a whole lot about what they are feeling and experiencing, in addition to what energy we are giving off.

Does their body feel tense? Is my body tense?
Do they feel stressed? Do I feel stressed?
Are they eager to work? Am I eager to work?

I know it can be tempting to rush out to the pasture to grab your horse after a long day at work and a commute through traffic to reach the barn, however…
Make sure you pause and take a moment to reflect on the energy you are giving off through your body language.

If you rush out to the field and grab your horse, are you going to be able to read what they are currently feeling? Are you going to notice anything such as tenseness, excitement, or confusion? Probably not.

The conversation you have with your horse when you first greet them is crucial to understanding where their mind is at before you dive into a training session.

Adjust your plan accordingly based on what you and your horse are feeling that day, and doing so will set you both up for a more successful experience.

Your horse is your mirror. Every ride reflects your mood, your energy, and your intention. Approach dressage with kindness, clarity, and calmness, and your horse will offer you the same in return—a true partnership of trust and respect.

“You get so stuck on the journey of what’s my next thing and how do I keep pushing to be successful that when you actually have a success, the first thing you’re thinking is, ‘Well, what do I do next?’ You don’t actually appreciate those moments. I think if I could tell everybody when you do get a win or you achieve something you’ve never achieved before, stop for a minute because those don’t happen very often and what’s the point in doing it if you don’t celebrate those moments?”

As always, a huge thank you to for having us on their podcast!! You can follow the link to hear more. ⬇️
