Annie Goodwin died tragically when her horse fell while training. Her trainer – and her horse – will now look to carry out her Olympic dreams.

When a horse walks, trots and canters its body throws off waves of motion. Some riders get flung around by these concussive forces, some can pretty well be in rhythm with the horse, while the best riders have become so integrated into the motion of the horse that they become almost one flowing entity, like the Centaur of myth and fable.

Having this blending seat and body more than any other skill defines the better riders, so much so that the former multi-gold medal winning USET 3-day coach Jack LeGoff phrased it like this---

“What are the three things that you must have in order to become a good rider?”
1. A good seat
2. A good seat
3. A good seat

Jack wasn’t big on listening to riders in self-praise mode. I have heard him say more than once, “Don’t tell us how good you are. Get on that horse and show us.”

Almost instantly he could spot the fakes from the real deals just by whether or not they were part of the motion or apart from the motion. The seat doesn’t lie. You either bounce or you don’t bounce.

If your body isn’t supple enough and trained enough to merge with those waves of motion thrown off by the moving horse, you are not, by LeGoff’s high standards, a good rider, nor will you be until or unless you learn to blend.

If this seems harsh, too demanding, that’s not LeGoff’s intent. He wasn’t a coddler, rather he was telling a truth as he saw it. You either can sit the gaits or you can’t sit the gaits. Pretty basic and simple as he saw it.

Kicked off the area IV season a little later than normal but off to a great start. Big thank you to Mill Creek Pony Club for running a super event!

These three say they're dominating the novice Jr division at their first Area IV event of the season!

This can't be stressed enough. We wouldn't be human if we didn't have nerves. At any level. Nerves are self preservation kicking in and that is not a bad thing.

Found an old friend today. Can't wait to have him back on my farm after 18 years and let him teach some of these new little riders the ropes. Gun buddy, you're looking pretty good for 24 years old!

Three oh so simple tips from Jack LeGoff about ways to avoid messing up the horses that we have in training:

These are much harder to accomplish than they are to say or do. Write them down somewhere where you will see them often---.

Don’t hurt him.
Don’t scare him.
Don’t overly excite him.

Who's going to AEC's??!! This kid!

Time seriously flies down here but we're having such a great time. So sad to see Lily head home tomorrow but Maddie arrived Wednesday evening and she and Mixtape have gained so much confidence in just 2 days. I'm in love with my new(ish) horse. (Remember track horse Horace from 6 years ago?? I bought him back. 😁) We were sad to have Jessica and Bailie head home as well but Remi and Teddy are doing fantastic. And Sara and Otto are looking confident at novice and ready for their first recognized event of the year next week.
