I absolutely love how each rider grows in their own journey, and for Carli it was exceptional. Carli came to me in beginning of December only knowing how to walk to ending off our time together where she could confidently canter and pop over small jumps, look it takes time to develop a feel in canter and develop a good canter, but I'm so proud with how determined she was to improve her riding and her body

I like to teach horses not to just physically flex, but to bring their mind to me while they do lateral flexions. It's not about the lateral flexion physically. It's important for your horse to mentally to connect to the aids.

It's not about pulling the horse head around and "getting lateral flexion"

Does my horse understand it and not just having his head pulled left and right

Do you understand the purpose of lateral flexions? Because if you don't, how is your horse supposed know?

People are often too quick to rush towards the end product of what society deems correct or where you should be with your horse
"Oh, he should be jumping by now,"
"Why aren't you competing?"
"You're taking it too slow,"
"You're waisting his potential."

Honestly, all of this only matters to us.
Our horses don't care whether they go graded or how high they are jumping.
They also don't stand in the paddock, wishing they are the horse in the arena jumping 1m... it's actually the other way around.

This is you and your horse's journey, so the opinion you should be most worried about is your horse's.

How did it feel for my horse?
Did he enjoy it?
Did he understand what we were doing?
Did he understand what I was asking?
Does he feel good, happy, and confident after our session?

So why rush the process? Take your time and enjoy each step along the way.

Do it for your horse

This is Maldives, a young Thoroughbred who is 4 months post op of a kissing spine surgery and his owner and I decided to make it a fun project and rehabilitation program to do the same work we would to put a horse into carriage, because nothing is going to build up back muscles like pulling tyres.
Do you think we'll be able to get this young Thoroughbred into carriage? Comment below👇

This was Hendry's sixth time under saddle, never got time to post this video, but it was his second time riding in the open dressage arena and his second time cantering under saddle, too many time I see horse being backed and it's bucking and throwing the rider around, if your horse understands what you want from him he won't feel the need to buck, and alot of times bucking is misinterpreted

Alot of times people are worried or get frustrated because their horses isn't in a "frame" or "on the bit" but what alot of people don't realize is that, that type of collection only comes last when you are training horses.

I always tell my students don't worry about the head and neck that will come, we first need to focus on getting the body and mind happy, when that happens everything will fall in place.

I always first want a happy free flowing horse in all the gaits, pain free and UNDERSTANDING rather than tightening the reins and trying to get something that the horse isn't ready for mentally and physically.

So yes there will be times that your horse's head is in the air or you have a horse that wants to keep stretching let him because, you know what for that time, place and lesson maybe that is the only way het knows how to carry himself under saddle (obviously checked for pain so that it's canceled out), he is also trying to figure things out, because no one just has the perfect posture, you need to give him time to strengthen his body then he'll be able to start collecting his body.

But until then don't worry too much about his head get the body going with exercises where he can learn to use his body to the best of his capability, and build upward from there, your horse will thank you for it.
