✨SHOW TIP : Having trouble in accuracy and precision of lines and circles ? ✨
I’m already prepping for show season. Sometimes when I have big breaks from showing, and get back to preparing; I get a little behind on my geometry and accuracy of lines, making it clear in showing a 10, 15, 20 meter circles
Everything comes so fast❗️
If you have 6 cavalletti/jumping poles
You can divide the short side of the arena by 3 sections.
Put two poles on each quarter line + centerline
It’s a great visualization tool and practice in helping you hit your centerline and quarter line, 15 meter circles.
I love doing half passes and leg yields towards the poles where I can literally see that I enter right in the middle. Also helps with turning when finishing lines
Have a horse that is hard to start the canter ?
Throws the head ? If you try to put a little more rein, the horse stops, or can’t keep the canter for a few strides ?
Here is Nessie, when I first started with her, she always threw in her hind legs to make up for her balance in the canter. To start the canter she would play with her head up and toss.
We have been working really hard in transitions. Especially in the trot, walk to trot, a little more forward steps to medium. It has worked tremendously.
You can make the repetition fun and change up the variations of your walk and trot. Once the horse starts responding better, the entrance and stamina to the canter will improve as well.
Especially to get their hind end working for the canter transition slow down your trot step, almost giving them a halt - like sensation. Once they put their weight in their hind, slide that outside leg back and boom 💥 canter.

Always important to show the learning moments of training & developing a young horse 📚🤓
Had a clinic with FEI judge, Jane Weatherwax. So informative, and helped give us some crucial tools to improve our riding. Especially to get a judge’s perspective and look through their lens on preparing and envisioning what the judge is wanting to see when entering the show ring.
Now, we go home and practice 💪🏼
Awesome clinic executed by @sjccds

This is one of my students, Tauranee, doing an excellent job on him.
Our new lesson horse. All the students love him. He comes from a background of Western and Western Dressage.
With just two weeks in, he seems to be showing his talent for dressage. Feeding him all the good carbs and stuff to develop his muscles.
I think he’ll be quite a mover once he’s more fit. 🤔

We got to take this little dancer to her first show for schooling. She was a princess to school. She knew her job, and just wanted to work. Could care less about her surroundings, the immense volume of horses coming in and out the ring.
She has come so far, and it’s so nice to have a horse that wants to be your partner and try for you.
Double Joy’s First Show 🐴🐉
After 4 years, we were brave enough to take Double to a show. We knew we needed to give him mileage and experience.
He was a hot dragon that showed everyone his colorful personality in and out of the ring with some exciting bucks and bolts.
We showed in 3-3, and unfortunately, with how excited he was, and how strong and powerful, he had a hard time relaxing through the test, and I had to ride more conservatively.
A lot of learning lessons, and it can only get better from here.
Thank you to Carlos Santos Dressage for helping me build this horse, without you, me and Double would of never made it as a team.

A little bit of the trot tour. Taking our time, and have to think riding him “small” to control his movement.
Very proud of our rein back in the video

What an experience to close the year at Desert International Park🏜I showed 🐎Rosie 🐎 who I have been developing as a lesson horse for our program. We debuted in second level, and it was such a blast.Our partnership has only been 4 months, and with no background in dressage; her first show being at a National/CDI, she was very much a beautiful and classy 🌹.Thank you @abyhorses, she was so awesome!And thank you to my squad- Carlos Santos Dressage, Sofia and Fred ❤️
🐴Does your horse favor one rein more than the other ? 🐴
Loki, especially in the left canter, loves to overflex to the inside, while the right is unbendable.
My client and I work on counter flexing him to the outside. The counter flexion makes him straighter, and encourages him to use both reins evenly.
When you come back from work excited to eat your yummy leftovers..and your roommate changes plans.
