How do we get straightness in 30 seconds? 🐴

Filmed from the saddle so you can see exactly what my hands are doing.

The shoulders follow the front legs, so keep both reins the exact same length with the same amount of contact. Then the front end has nowhere to drift.

The hind legs follow your weight. If they swing out, fix it with your weight.

Leg position, properly explained 🐴

Where your leg actually sits, how much of it is on the horse, and why the same aid has to be louder on one horse and almost nothing on another.

That last part is what trips most riders up. A sensitive horse and a horse that ignores your leg need two completely different conversations, and most of us are having the same one with both.

This is the long version, so save it and come back to it before your next ride 👇

How do you get over your riding fear? 🐴

Not by waiting until you feel brave. Not by someone telling you to just get on with it.

Fear is not a character flaw and it is not something you talk yourself out of. It is information. Once you know what it is actually pointing at, you can do something useful with it instead of arguing with it.

Here is where to start.

What does contact actually feel like? 🐴

Filmed from where I sit, so you can see my hands on the reins and hear what I am thinking while I ride.

Contact is the only part of dressage you cannot see from the ground, which is why every explanation you have ever had is someone describing a feeling to you. This is the closest I can get you to feeling it yourself.

The short version: the horse is not pulling on you, and you are not pulling on the horse.

Contact was one of the HARDEST things for me to learn as a beginner (anyone else?!)

My horse wasn’t naturally talented. Nothing came easily, and trying to understand how to get him “on the bit” felt hard, frustrating and confusing!!

I heard things like “RIDE FORWARD INTO THE CONTACT”… ummm what does that even mean 🙈

So I’ve taken ALL my learnings about contact and getting my horse on the bit and put it together in my Ultimate Contact Pack. 🌟

Videos, workbooks, GoPro footage… you name it… it’s there for YOU.

👇 comment “on the bit” and I’ll send you our contact pack details ASAP ###

Life is risk 🐴

There is no version of riding horses that comes with a guarantee. There is no version of anything worth doing that does.

So the question was never how to remove the risk. It is what you are willing to trade for a life that has horses in it.

If you needed to hear that today, this one is for you 👇

Boom, I love how empowering dressage makes me feel.

What happens to the reins when you ask for shoulder-in? 🐴

This is where most shoulder-ins fall apart. The rider asks with the rein, the horse loses the shoulder, and the whole movement turns into a neck bend with the quarters trailing.

Here is what the reins should actually be doing, and what I am saying to my horse in the walk before I even ask.
