🥱😴 Such a snoozey girly!

🏇 This nutty exracehorse really living upto the stereotype!

She managed to find and maintain quite a big postural change during our ride yesterday 💪

So it seems that there is plenty of processing happening 🫶

👎 Thumbs down to being ridden today! 🤦‍♀️🤣

We will be doing a slightly less mentally and physically tasking session today, whilst also helping her to move her own body in a new, more sustainable way 🥰

So, the training camp is over... now what? 🤔🐴

One of the biggest mistakes riders make after an intensive clinic or training camp is expecting everything they've learned to simply stick. The reality is that without a plan, even the best lessons gradually fade as old habits creep back in 👎

The days and weeks after a camp are where the real progress happens 💫

🤔 Take some time to reflect on what you learned. What were the biggest breakthroughs? What fixes made the biggest difference? What feedback did you receive repeatedly?

Write it down. Watch any videos you took. Make notes while it's still fresh in your mind. Do some mental rehearsal! 📝

Then focus on practising with purpose. You don't need to work on everything at once. Pick one or two fixes that make the biggest difference and make them part of your regular riding routine. Consistent repetition is what turns new skills into conscious competence 🧠💪

It's also important to remember that improvement isn't always dramatic. Sometimes progress looks like better timing, a softer aid, a more balanced transition, or a horse that feels more relaxed and confident 🫶

Training camps can give you inspiration, knowledge, and new tools. What you do afterwards determines whether those gains become lasting improvements or just a great memory.

Training camps aren't just about the training 🐴

Of course, we all come to improve our riding and develop our horses, but some of the biggest benefits happen outside the arena too 🤝

There's something special about bringing together riders from different equestrian backgrounds who all share a similar mindset and passion ❤️

You meet people who understand the highs ⬆️ the lows ⬇️ the challenges 👎 and the wins 👍 that come with horses.

Ideas get shared 💡 confidence grows 🌱 friendships are made 🤗 and everyone learns from each other's experiences.

The horses benefit too, as their riders gain new perspectives and skills that help bring out the very best in them 🐎

A good training camp leaves you with more than just exercises and fixes to work on when you get home. It leaves you feeling inspired, motivated, and connected to a community of people who genuinely get it 💫

That's what Ride With Your Mind camps are all about 🧠🐴❤️

Learning. Connecting. Growing. Together.

🫠 I think I almost look gormless riding down this arena, but that glazed-over look in my eye is something I am conciously trying to acheive.

Riding with "Eyes in the back of your head" is less about a specific head position and more about expanding your perceptual field.

1. Move from focused vision to peripheral vision
◦ Instead of staring at a point ahead, allow your visual attention to soften.
◦ Become aware of what's to the sides without turning your head.
2. Expand proprioception
◦ Feel not just individual body parts but your whole body simultaneously.
◦ Sense your seat bones, legs, ribcage, breathing, and relationship to gravity.
◦ Develop awareness of where you are in space without having to look.
3. Include the horse in the body map
◦ Rather than experiencing "me on top of the horse," begin to experience horse and rider as a single moving system.
◦ Feel the horse's balance, direction and rhythm as extensions of your own awareness.
◦ Notice movement under and around you, not just beneath your seat.

👀 Eyes in the back of your head and a horse with eyes farther back in its head, make for a less uncanny horse—one whose eyes aren't bulging from its skull—and, hopefully, a more unified rider-and-mount.

🎈There is a super video on youtube in which Mary demonstrates how to do 'balloon breathing' which can help get your body to a place where your eyes can sink into the back of your head.
