Monday morning Motivation 💪🌟

Riders are sometimes so scared of failure that their fears prevent them from learning something new.

A loss is never a loss if you make it a lesson.👌 Don't be scared of failure; embrace your shortcomings, analyse your mistakes, and, most importantly, learn from them. 👆

The road to success isn't a straight line; it's an up and down battle filled with dark and challenging times.

If you don't develop the habit of learning from your failures and constantly adjusting your game plan, then you'll never be able to level up and reach your goals. 👌

As a rider, whether it's pleasure riding or competitive riding, you have to have personal goals that you work towards. 🥇

Success isn't one perfect action after another; it's trying, failing, learning, and doing a little bit better each time. That's how you achieve the things you want, by using the past as a lesson so that you’re better prepared moving forward.💪

So go out there and be prepared for obstacles and failings, its all part of it. The magic comes from who you grow into along the way. ✨

REASONS TO DO GROUNDWORK WITH YOUR HORSE

Have you ever heard a rider say that they don’t do groundwork with their horse because it doesn’t matter or because it’s boring? Both statements are untrue. Here are six reasons why you should absolutely do groundwork with your horse.
When I start working with any young horse, this is the first foundation of training.

1. Improve Your Bond With Your Horse👍
Groundwork is a surefire way to improve the bond that you share with your horse. Performing groundwork means that you and your horse can work through and overcome challenges together. It also forces you to slow down and refine your signals for improved communication with your horse.

2. Learn to Read Your Horse’s Body Language👀
When you do groundwork, you will quickly learn to read the nuances of your horse’s body language. Groundwork involves learning to control the movement and motion of your horse’s body, and the more that you practice, the better you will be able to read your horse’s body language

3. Teach Your Horse to Better Understand You🤗
Groundwork also gives your horse a chance to focus on your visual cues. Rather than receiving information from your weight, balance, and pressure while in the saddle, groundwork gives your horse a chance to truly focus on understanding you and what you are asking of him.

4. Gain Your Horse’s Respect🙌
Through groundwork sessions, you can gain your horse’s respect. When you do groundwork with your horse, you are using your body language and physical presence to gain your horse’s respect. When your horse moves in response to the pressure that you put on him, he is indicating that he understands and respects you. This respect can transfer over to times when you are in the saddle.

5. Establish Better Control Over Your Horse’s Movement💪
As you do groundwork with your horse, you will establish better control over your horse’s movement. This control can make riding your horse easier, as you can transfer what your horse has learned with you on the ground. Groundwork can help facilitate training, both unmounted and mounted.

6. Improve the Trust Between You and Your Horse👌
Groundwork can be a powerful way to develop and improve the trust that you and your horse share. As you do groundwork, you can observe your horse’s reaction to a variety of stimuli in different situations. At the same time, your horse learns that while you ask him to move his body in different ways, you apply and remove pressure kindly without ever actually threatening his safety.

Groundwork is a powerful tool with many benefits for both you and your horse. If you’re not already doing groundwork with your horse, you might want to start. ☝️

A note for the pro in you: How long should the Competition Poll Pad be worn for, for maximum effect?
It is ideal if you can apply the poll guard 30 minutes before exercise perhaps attached to a headcollar, then during exercise attached to your bridle then back on a headcollar post exercise. This will help to promote blood flow to the muscles for warming up and relaxation and also help to reduce lactic acid build up and relieve tension.
