What a great read!

In a sport where ambition often pushes riders to seek bigger, more talented, and more challenging horses, the idea of being “under-mounted” can feel counterintuitive. But according to top hunter rider and trainer Geoff Teall, riding a horse that is easier than your skill level is one of the smartest ways to improve.

Understanding what that means and why it matters can change the way riders approach both training and horse selection.

Being under-mounted does not mean riding a poor-quality horse or one that lacks ability. As Teall explains, “Your horse should be too easy for you to handle.” This kind of match removes unnecessary complications and allows the rider to focus on developing their own skills.

When a rider is on a horse that is too difficult or unpredictable, much of their attention is spent managing the horse; instead of working on position, timing, and feel, they are focused on simply getting through the ride. “If you’re under-mounted, then you will be able to put any worries about your horse out of your mind,” he shares.

Without those distractions, riders can direct their energy toward improving their technique.

Our first horse show clinic in the books! We had a wonderful day of learning and figuring out what everyone needs to work on for this season! The girls showed so much independence from learning / walking their own courses without any guidance, fully bathing , grooming , tacking, everything all on their own from start to finish of a horse show day.

Everyone was so supportive of one another, it was truly so heart warming to see all of the girls work together like they did today. ❤️
It wouldn’t be a real “horse show” experience if we didn’t get rained on 😅 We decided to end our day with a ba****ck class in the indoor which was a huge hit with giggles heard throughout the barn the entire time 😆 Thank you to everyone who joined us today! We had a great day and can’t wait for our next one in August! The next one is open for hauls in !! Text to get a spot as spots are limited 317-750-6826

Is your kiddo new to showing and you want to ensure they are prepared for their first show? Or your teen that’s been showing a few times and you want to sharpen their knowledge on all the ins and outs of being independent at horse shows?

Then sign them up for our horse show clinic day!
Our first session will be only open for our in barn students and no, you don’t have to have your own horse to be a part of this!!! Our second session will be open to outside riders who have their own horse. Stalls available for hauls ins.

Two separate full-day sessions: Saturday, June 6, 2026 OR Saturday, August 1, 2026. 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM.

This isn't a riding lesson with a ribbon at the end. It's a real show day, ran start to finish, with your rider doing every part of it on their own
— bathing, pre and post showing horse care, walking the course, clean and properly fitting tack and clothing, executing a hunter/jumper round, how to showcase your horse in a flat class and proper after-care. We score every round and break it down together. No ribbons. No guessing. Real growth and understanding.

By the end of the day, your rider will know how to run a show day without anyone holding the reins.

What you'll cover:
— Bathing, grooming, braiding, mane and tail prep
— Tack cleaning, fitting and presentation
— Course walking and ring strategy
— Hunter / jumper round with real feedback and scoring. This will include being warmed up by trainer just like at a horse show. Riders get one flat class, one warm up over fences and 2 over fences rounds for their “division”.
— Icing, liniment, feet packing, medicating and proper leg wrapping
— Group trail ride to close the day

Included:
— Lunch (pizza + drinks)
— Take-home T-shirt or saddle pad
— Personalized feedback on every round

Details:
— $125 per rider
— 6–8 spots per session
— Intermediate riders & up — not open to beginners
— Boarders priority. Limited haul-in spots available — call to ask.

Reserve with Paige Pierce: (317) 750-6826 — call or text. Spots fill fast.
