This makes a lot of sense - in riding and in life.

"It is important that we focus on what we do right and what the horse has done well and build on that with positive reinforcement. For you, as the rider, this means allowing yourself to attend to what felt right so you can repeat your success," writes psychologist and Grand Prix rider Jane Karol. "This does not mean giving yourself or your horse recognition only when something is done exactly right. It means acknowledging the moment things are going even incrementally in the right direction."

"Many dressage riders work incredibly hard off their horses to stay in shape for their time in the saddle. They strength train. They stretch. They practice yoga or Pilates. But despite this tremendous effort, many of these very fit riders still experience stiffness in the saddle, difficulty sitting the trot, and fatigue through their lower backs and hips."
~ Dave Thind
