Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians

Ever feel like if you didn't get it right the first time, it must not be for you? This week's Sunday Strides is your reminder that confidence isn't born from perfection; it's built through repetition. So many riders get discouraged when things don't go well on the first try. But what if showing up again (and again) is exactly what's required? In this short pep talk, I'm sharing why the real breakthroughs happen after the first awkward, messy attempts, and how committing to repeat with intention is the secret to true progress with your horse. Whether you're learning a new skill, restarting after a break, or supporting your horse through retraining, this one is for you

Have you recently welcomed an OTTB (Off-the-Track Thoroughbred) into your life, only to feel overwhelmed by where to even begin? This episode is all about helping you build a solid foundation for your ex-racehorse. Whether your Thoroughbred just left the track or has been with you for a while, this episode will guide you through how to create a clear, step-by-step plan to move forward confidently in your training. Ex-racehorses are incredibly athletic, intelligent, and versatile, but those same qualities can make retraining feel confusing or frustrating if you don't have a system in place. This episode will show you how to simplify the process, communicate clearly, and set both you and your OTTB up for long-term success.

Are you stuck in that cycle of wanting to ride… But not actually riding the way you want?  Or maybe you're not riding at all right now, even though the tack, the horse, and the arena are all sitting there, waiting for you?! In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, we're getting honest about the real reason so many riders stall out in their progress. (Spoiler alert: it's not motivation.) I'm walking you through a simple 4-step process to get back into the saddle, or back into the right kind of saddle time... This week. Yes, this week! This process works whether you're returning to riding, restarting your horse's training, or simply feeling stuck in a rut. The key is clarity. And we're going to create that together, one tiny step at a time. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why knowing what needs to be done isn't enough to get unstuck How to set a clear, specific goal for the next 6 months of your riding The simple way to spot the real gaps between where you are and where you want to be How to choose one small action to take in the next 3 days, and why that's the key to building momentum Why clarity comes after action, not before The full article for this, with all of the examples and links, is at:- https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1374-why-youre-still-not-riding-like-you-want-to-and-what-to-do-about-it-this-week/   Tell Me What You're Committing To... I would love to hear what you decide to do with this episode!

In this episode of Sunday Strides, we're exploring a common, but quietly damaging, belief many riders hold: “If I was truly capable, I wouldn't need help.” Whether you've just begun leasing, you're training solo, or you've always dreamed of being an independent rider, today's message is for you. I share why needing support doesn't make you any less capable… In fact, it often means you're getting closer to your next breakthrough. And I gently redefine what guidance really is: not control or correction, but structure, perspective, and encouragement, especially when you're feeling stuck, messy, or unsure.

Have you ever tried something during a lesson and nailed it. Only to fall flat the next time you rode on your own?! In this episode, we're revisiting a powerful conversation around confidence, communication, and the three essential elements of becoming a better rider: emotional, mental, and physical development. Confidence isn't something you magically have or don't.  It's something you can build, and sometimes even borrow. Whether you're retraining an OTTB, restarting after time out of the saddle, or simply trying to improve on your own, this episode will help you take stock of what's really going on when things aren't working. Inside this episode: What it means to "borrow confidence", and why it works Why mental clarity must go beyond “knowing the thing” The emotional patterns that block physical progress How to check your beliefs before you check your aids Why your outside leg might not be doing what you think it's doing...

But your confidence keeps stalling, or you're not sure what to focus on, this is your invitation to start fresh... Restart & Reschool is 13 weeks of personal coaching to rebuild trust, rhythm, and structure in your riding. We'll fill the gaps in your riding, your horse's training, and your mindset, step by step, together.

Ever feel like you're working so hard in the saddle… but nothing's changing? In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, we're exploring the key difference between training and retraining, and why understanding this shift can unlock your next breakthrough. Whether you're working with an OTTB, returning to riding after a break, or helping your horse transition to a new job or discipline, this concept will help you see the real reason progress feels slow (or stuck). We'll cover: How to tell if you're training or retraining (for both you and your horse) Why retraining is more emotionally charged and what that means in practice The 5 signs you're stuck in a retraining loop Why unlearning is just as important as learning in your riding journey Practical ways to move forward, including how to use video and coaching to shorten your progress path This episode is your invitation to pause, reassess, and choose the right strategy, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. What You'll Learn 

This week's Sunday Strides starts with a conversation Lorna had with one of her sons, and how that moment perfectly mirrors a challenge so many riders face... Avoiding the parts of the ride that don't feel good. In this episode, Lorna shares why recognizing what's “wrong” in your riding isn't a setback. It's actually the start of something better. Because the truth is, you can't fix what you're not willing to see. Whether it's a messy transition, an avoided exercise, or a mindset that's quietly holding you back, progress begins with honest reflection.

The circle: probably the most ridden shape in every arena session... And yet, how often do we actually ride it with intention? In this Strides Revisited episode, we're breathing fresh energy into the humble circle and showing you how to use it as a powerful tool for improving your horse's balance, rhythm, and responsiveness. You'll learn 3 simple yet transformative exercises that you can ride today, no special equipment required. And these exercises will allow you to make more of the circles in your daily riding. “So many riders lose the opportunity to improve both themselves and their horse… Simply because they're not intentionally riding the circle.” In This Episode, You'll Discover: ✅ Why most riders waste time on aimless circles ✅ How to ride consistent, purposeful strides around the circle ✅ The power of leg yielding on a circle to develop suppleness and straightness ✅ How to master accurate transitions without losing balance or rhythm ✅ Creative ways to mark out your circle (using poles, cones, even your jacket!) Whether you're schooling at home, working solo, or just getting back into the rhythm of riding, these exercises will challenge you and your horse in all the right ways.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right in the saddle… But your horse is still resistant, crooked, or just not quite “with” you? What if the real issue isn't your horse, but something you're not seeing in yourself? In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, we're taking a fresh look at how video can help uncover the real reason things might feel off during your ride. I'm sharing why so many riders miss critical asymmetries and habits that are actually holding their horses back. And how video can become your most honest, effective riding coach.

In this Strides Revisited episode, we're revisiting one of those foundational exercises that truly shapes your riding journey: Turn on the Forehand. Whether you're working on opening gates, introducing collection, or improving your horse's responsiveness, this simple movement has endless value for every rider at every level.

Ever wondered how to get the most out of virtual riding lessons?

Join me as I walk you through: ✅ How to set clear, achievable goals for your riding—so you always know where you're going ✅ Why finding the right instructor (for you) is the game-changer ✅ Proven Pivo tips & tricks to make sure your tech works with you, not against you ✅ How to keep the progress rolling between sessions - because growth happens in between https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1371-virtual-riding-lessons-how-to-set-up-and-succeed-with-remote-coaching

https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcastRight now, it's tempting to turn to AI for everything, even in the saddle! Ask a question, get an instant answer. But when it comes to training horses and improving your riding, is that really helping you grow? In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna shares a straight-talking perspective on how more riders are using AI as a shortcut, and how that shortcut can quietly take you off course. If you've found yourself relying on AI-generated plans or “quick fixes” to solve riding problems, this is your reminder: riding isn't about perfect answers - it's about awareness, feel, and growth. Lorna also shares 3 smart and intentional ways you can start using AI this week to support your riding journey, and why it's all about asking better questions, not getting the perfect answers.

In this Strides Revisited episode, we're returning to one of the most powerful mindset shifts in riding - the moment when you stop trying to control your horse's every move… and start asking with clarity instead. This episode takes a fresh look at leg yielding; not just as a lateral movement, but as a powerful training tool to refine how you use your aids and communicate with your horse. Whether you're rebuilding your confidence or looking to sharpen your lateral work, this is where the shift begins. In this episode, you'll learn: Why pushing = resistance - and what to do instead How to create “open doors” with your seat and reins to show your horse where to go The importance of timing your aids with how your horse is actually moving How feedback builds a conversation (and trust) between you and your horse

Have you ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” in the saddle - yet not really making progress? Chances are, there might be a few riding shortcuts sneaking into your sessions. And if you're training without a regular instructor… those shortcuts can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. That's where Pivo comes in. In this episode, I'm sharing three of the most common shortcuts riders take—and how using Pivo to film short clips of your rides can help you spot, fix, and finally move past them. Whether you ride alone or just want to get more from your time in the saddle, this episode will show you how to turn video into your most trusted training partner.

Have you ever wished you could fast-forward three rides ahead to see exactly what you'd do differently? In this week's Sunday Strides, Lorna turns that fantasy into a practical tool: using short video reviews as your “time-travel” coach. Learn how to pause your ride, watch it “from the future,” then hop back in the saddle and apply those insights immediately—so every session becomes a step toward smarter, smoother progress. 

Struggling with unbalanced, rushed, or messy canter transitions? You're not alone. And the good news is, it doesn't have to stay this way. In this episode of Strides Revisited (from 2020) of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, I'm sharing 3 practical steps you can implement on your very next ride to dramatically improve your canter transitions. Whether you're riding alone in a back paddock or schooling in an arena, these simple mindset and position shifts will help you plan better, ride with more clarity, and finally allow your horse to move freely into the canter. This is a must-listen for any rider who has ever felt like they were catapulted into canter… or worse, ended up rushing into it with no balance or connection.

Ever feel like your riding instantly improves when someone's watching? You sit up straighter, ride with more intention, and suddenly even your transitions are cleaner… But what if you don't have anyone to watch you ride? The good news? You do. Your camera and your future self are ready to become your new training partners - starting today. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, we're diving into the power of video, not just filming your rides, but reviewing them in a way that gives you clear, honest feedback and a clear next step. This isn't about judgment. It's about awareness, growth, and making your time in the saddle truly count, especially if you're training alone without a regular instructor or coach.

This week's Sunday Strides is a personal one. Lorna reflects on how a smaller riding space at her new farm initially felt limiting but ultimately sparked creativity and growth in her training approach. Whether you're dealing with time constraints, health issues, or limited resources, this episode encourages you to view these challenges as opportunities to explore new facets of your riding journey. Because real riders aren't the ones with perfect conditions - they're the ones who adapt, innovate, and keep moving forward.

This Strides Revisited episode from 2020 calls riders out (lovingly!) on wasting time in the saddle and challenges you to make every moment with your horse count. Whether you're riding solo, stuck in a rut, or returning after time off, this episode will help you reignite your purpose, get clear on your riding goals, and build a plan that fits your life. Not someone else's (or potentially a past version of you?) expectations.

If you're a rider working without a trainer or instructor, this episode is for you. Because yes - you can absolutely improve your riding while training alone. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, we're moving on from our Rider Basics series by getting deeper into strategies to use when riding alone. Today, we're diving into five simple yet powerful strategies that will help you make consistent progress, even when you're riding by yourself. These tips are practical, accessible, and completely doable — whether you're in a proper arena or just making the most of your back paddock.

This week's Sunday Strides is a personal one. Lorna reflects on a recent experience that reminded her just how uncomfortable it can feel to learn something new - especially as an adult. Whether it's learning how to use new tech (hello, Pivo

If you feel like something is “off” in your riding, but you can't quite put your finger on it, this episode is for you... We're going back to basics and revisiting the key areas of your riding position that may be holding you back. The reality? Even just one small fault in your seat, leg, or upper body can create a domino effect that impacts your entire ride—and your horse's ability to understand you. This is a foundational episode for every rider. Especially if you're returning to riding, feeling stuck in your progress, or working without an instructor. Get the FULL article and all of the links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1026 In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why your position matters more than you think — especially when training alone ✅ How your seat bones influence communication with your horse ✅ The common leg faults (like gripping and clamping) and how to correct them ✅ The head–shoulder–hip–heel line and how to use it to assess your own alignment ✅ A simple trick for spotting tension in your knees ✅ How your head, shoulders, and arms can either stabilize or sabotage your ride ✅ The importance of the elbow–rein–bit line for soft, effective communication ✅ Why rider fitness plays a bigger role than you realize—and what to do about it You'll walk away with actionable insights you can take into the saddle today to feel more balanced, more secure, and more effective in your riding.

Feeling overwhelmed in the saddle by everything you think you need to fix? Whether you're a novice rider or returning after time out of the saddle, this episode will help you break free from the frustrating cycle of overthinking and overcorrecting. Instead of trying to improve everything at once, what if you focused on just one thing — the first domino that, when shifted, creates a ripple effect throughout the rest of your ride? In this episode, I'm sharing how to identify your own “riding domino,” why mastering the basics isn't just for beginners, and how one focused ride can do more for your progress than weeks of scattershot effort.

Have you ever felt frustrated because what used to work in your riding, your training, or even your schedule - suddenly just… doesn't? You're not alone. In this episode of Sunday Strides, Lorna shares why it's normal (and even a positive sign!) when old systems stop fitting your current life - and why learning to adapt is the key to lasting progress in your riding journey. Change isn't a problem - it's a signal that you're growing. Whether you're adjusting your training approach for your horse, your own riding schedule, or your life outside the saddle, embracing new strategies can help you find flow, confidence, and joy again.

If your horse's trot feels a little "meh" - and not the light, airy, expressive movement you dream of - you might unknowingly be the one getting in the way... In this encore episode, we're revisiting one of the most powerful conversations you can have with your horse: how your seat can either create space for better movement - or accidentally block it. Many riders think that once they master the basic rising trot, they can move on. But if you want true influence, softness, and connection, you need to dive deeper - starting with how you move with the trot, not against it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why a trot is never just a trot — and how to unlock its hidden potential The "bit in the middle" you must feel and create for more space and suspension 2 easy exercises ("Up, Up, Down" and "Down, Down, Up") to reveal whether you're influencing or blocking Why more energy doesn't mean faster — and how to manage tempo without losing balance Signs that your seat might be the bottleneck in your horse's progress Simple off-the-horse steps to improve your suppleness, balance, and influence

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally 'getting' the rising trot as a beginner rider… But what if the way you first found success—your trusty “up downs”—is now what's holding you back? In this episode, we're exploring how the rising trot evolves far beyond rhythm and balance. I'm breaking down how posting to the trot is actually a tool—one that can either help or hinder your horse's movement and training, depending on how you're doing it. Because yes, there's a better way—and it all starts with YOU.

This week didn't go as planned. And if yours didn't either - you're not alone. In this episode of Sunday Strides, I'm sharing what I do when life throws everything off course. From illness and exhaustion to just plain overwhelm, we all face moments where our riding plans feel impossible to follow through on. But here's the key: One bad day doesn't mean the whole week is a write-off. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is regroup instead of retreat.

Do you ever feel like your hands are sending mixed signals to your horse? If you've been trying to improve your contact, connection, or communication in the saddle - but things still feel off - this Strides Revisited episode is for you. Originally aired in February 2025 as Episode 1137, this conversation dives into four of the most common (and sneaky!) ways your hands may be unintentionally causing confusion while you ride. Whether it's fidgeting, flapping, or just plain floating... It's time to find your ‘Goldilocks' hands - just right

Do your hands seem to have a mind of their own when you're riding? You're not alone—and the good news is, unsteady hands aren't usually the real issue. They're often a symptom of deeper balance, stability, or position problems in your riding. Whether you find yourself constantly shortening your reins or unintentionally using your hands for balance, this episode will help you understand what's actually causing your unsteady hands and how to finally develop steadier, softer communication with your horse. Read the full article on this HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1365-steady-hands-as-you-ride-your-horse   In This Episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, You'll Discover: ✅ Why steady hands are essential for clear, kind communication with your horse ✅ How your elbows directly influence your hand stability (and what to do about it!) ✅ Why relying on your hands for balance is causing bigger problems in your riding ✅ Practical off-horse exercises to build core strength and hand stability  ✅ How improving the connection between your seat and hands will transform your riding  

Welcome to the very first episode of Sunday Strides – the new weekly series from the Daily Strides Podcast designed to get your mindset right before the week begins. These episodes are short (under 5 minutes), unscripted, and packed with the motivation, truth, and tough love you need to get back in the saddle—even when it's not perfect. In this episode, we're talking about the trap of waiting for the “perfect time” to ride and why that's costing you real progress with your horse. Because here's the truth: You don't need a perfect plan. You need to just get on.

Do you ever feel like the more effort you put into canter, the worse your seat becomes? You're not alone... In this encore episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, we're revisiting a popular lesson: Developing Your Seat in the Canter. Originally aired in March 2020, it's packed with timeless insights for riders who feel stuck, disconnected, or frustrated in the canter. This episode will help you: Understand the difference between following and forcing in the canter Use the "clothes hanger" analogy to create true postural alignment Recognize how shoulder tension and over-efforting are sabotaging your seat Learn why carrying yourself is step one in developing a supple, effective seat Discover how to use the half-halt with your seat—without blocking your horse Whether you're a returning rider, a bit rusty, or just ready to upgrade your seat… this episode is your starting point.

Have you ever noticed your lower leg swinging like a windscreen wiper while you're trotting or cantering? You're not alone—and here's the good news: your swinging lower leg is not the real problem. It's a symptom of something deeper going on in your riding. Whether your horse is tuning you out… or rocketing off when you didn't mean to ask for more—this episode will help you understand what's actually causing the instability and how to finally fix your swinging lower leg in a way that lasts. Read the full blog post HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1364-securing-your-swinging-lower-leg-in-trot-and-canter In This Episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, You'll Discover: ✅ Why your lower leg swinging is rarely the actual problem ✅ What to check in your rising/posting trot technique that could be causing the swing ✅ How your shoulders in canter are secretly sabotaging your leg stability ✅ What to do instead of "holding" your leg still (spoiler: that doesn't work!) ✅ The missing link between your seat, balance, and leg aids that could change everything

Have you ever found yourself mid-ride thinking, “Wait… what am I doing right now?” Maybe your heels are creeping up, your reins have slipped, or your posture's gone missing… You're not alone. And more importantly - you're already riding on autopilot. The key is making sure that what's on autopilot is actually moving you and your horse forward. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I'm breaking down how to reset your riding habits, step by step. These are simple shifts you can start using right away to ride more intentionally — and confidently.

Join the Returning to Riding Waitlist at https://returningtoriding.com How often have you felt overwhelmed about remembering and doing all of the things when it comes to your riding? Perhaps you find yourself looking at more experienced riders and wondering "How do they do it?". Maybe you feel at a loss because "As soon as I start with something different, it all falls apart.".  Or for you it could just be "I just can't remember to do all of the things at the same time!!!". This is a very real part of the riding journey for all riders. It's a phase you have to go through if you want to improve and succeed as a 'rider'. Take a deep breath, because you're definitely not alone. In fact, feeling overwhelmed, especially when you're still learning all of the things is a natural part of the riding journey. Every single rider—yes, even those more experienced riders you admire—has faced these exact frustrations. One of the key differences between struggling riders and those who appear effortlessly successful comes down to one key thing: putting better habits on autopilot - and your thoughts can help you do just that...   Read the Full Article & All Links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1360-using-your-thoughts-to-put-better-habits-on-autopilot-in-your-riding/   Online Training to Help Your Riding Returning to Riding Program Waitlist Daily Strides Premium – Audio Horse Riding Lessons for Riders Connection – Private Virtual Online Lessons for Equestrians Information on Virtual Horse Riding Lessons Connect with Lorna online:- Connect in the Daily Strides Podcast Online Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcast Connect in the Virtual Stable Lounge Private Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1499737810323191

Join the Returning to Riding Waitlist at https://returningtoriding.com Have you ever noticed how quickly things can shift from good to tense during a ride? One moment you're feeling relaxed and confident, and the next, you realize that your shoulders have crept up to your ears, your hands are gripping onto those reins for dear life, and, maybe, you've forgotten to breath for a few seconds too long! Rather than just accepting that your body is doing it's own thing - and not what you want, this is the perfect opportunity to begin asking yourself "What's going on here?". "What thought caused this reaction in my body?" Because, while you might think that these things just happen; leaning forward on every canter transition, or curling up like a hamster when a dog barks while out for a hack; they are a reaction. Your body is reacting to your thoughts about the situation. Yes, these physical responses aren't random—they're usually triggered by your thoughts. Thoughts that we often don't even realize we are having! Today, we're going to explore how to identify these unhelpful thoughts and, importantly, how you can shift them to create positive change in your riding.

Join the Returning to Riding Waitlist:- https://returningtoriding.com Imagine if there was something you could actively ‘do' every moment you're in the saddle that would almost guarantee that you're in the ‘right place at the right time'.  There is. It involves abiding by the 'Click Your Fingers Rule' regarding your position. And look, I get it: talking about your position is not fun or exciting. But it is 100% one of the BEST ways to improve your skills as a rider. When you are in the right place at the right time to effectively and clearly communicate with your horse, it stands to reason that the overall connection and quality of the work will improve.  Your position is so important, and applying the Click Your Fingers Rule will help you develop true balance and independence in the saddle. It's one of the key elements that allows a rider to transition from being a passenger to truly riding their horse.

Join the Returning to Riding Waitlist:-  https://returningtoriding.com You hop into the saddle, ready for a great ride. But before you know it, you've spent most of the session adjusting your hands, correcting your position, and just ‘fixing' yourself. All while your horse just plods along! Sound familiar? Don't worry, you're not alone... Ask yourself this: Where is the majority of your attention or focus when you ride? Think back to the very last schooling session with your horse with you in the saddle. Maybe you had a lesson, or perhaps it was just you and your horse working together alone. Who did you focus more on: you and your position, aids, tension, etc., or your horse and how well he was working? There comes a point for most riders when they realize that they spend more time focusing on themselves in each training session. Fixing, correcting, reminding themselves to do or be a certain way... This is the 'passenger' phase of your horse-riding journey. And while all riders must initially go through it, the challenge comes when they unknowingly get stuck there! It's when you're focusing so much of your energy in 'fixing' yourself that you're not actually riding the horse! You're simply 'sitting there'. So, if you've been feeling like 80% of your time in the saddle is spent 'fixing' and correcting yourself - this article and episode will help you to begin making the shift from passenger to rider.

80+ Ideas for 15 Minutes or Less with Your Horse https://stridesforsuccess.com/15 Groundwork & Energy Live Webinar https://stridesforsuccess.com/energy 3 Days to Successful Lunging https://stridesforsuccess.com/3days   Nostalgia is a funny thing. It often causes us to look back at or reminisce about past experiences with rose-tinted glasses. And your horse riding journey is no different. Especially when you're thinking about getting back in the saddle after a significant breakaway. When you remember all of the adventures you've already had when it comes to horses and riding, it can sometimes leave you questioning if there's any way it could ever hope to be like that again…  And that doubt over how good getting back in the saddle could be is one of the big reasons riders never take the next action. They don't go out and tack up. Or they stop exploring riding clubs, or schools that are nearby. And that is such a shame… While you're paused because you're worrying if a new riding experience could possibly measure up to ‘what was' for you before; you're missing out on the very real possibility that things could actually be even better.  Today I want to explore how this is a very real (and even more probable) outcome for you if you finally take the plunge and take action on getting back in the saddle after a break.

50+ Ideas to do With Your Horse in 15 Minutes or Less HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/15   Riders stop riding for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes, it's a conscious choice; an injury, a change in circumstances, or a loss of confidence for example. Other times, life simply gets in the way. But whatever the reason, it doesn't have to define your riding journey going forward. You're maybe like many other riders, the reason that you've stopped was just a season of life—a temporary chapter, not the whole story. And yet, it's easy to take that reason and make it mean something about who you are. You, intentionally or not, weave it into your entire identity, convincing yourself that you're no longer a “real rider.” But here's the truth: “The reason you stopped riding is just that—a reason, not a definition. It's a chapter that's now ending - not the whole story!  Getting back in the saddle can feel uncomfortable, even when you want it more than anything. And I'm not just talking about physical discomfort. Often the mental challenges are even more real. This can be because your mind has grown used to its old story. The one where riding is no longer a part of your life. But that story isn't set in stone. You can rewrite it—starting today...

50+ Ideas for when You've 15 Minutes or Less with Your Horse FREE HERE Have you been allowing your goal of 'doing things right' to suck the joy and fun out of horse riding for you? Maybe you've been wanting to get back into riding after a long break, but you stop yourself because things are not 100% perfect. There's a time and a place for perfection. Every single moment that you're interacting with your horse is NOT that time! Today, I want to encourage you to let go of perfection. Release the pressure you're putting on yourself and your horse for everything to be amazing. And just be present and enjoy the moment - warts and all!  Have you ever watched children playing and noticed how much pure fun they usually have? They are not worried about 'playing the correct way' or 'doing it the right way'. They are simply there, at the moment, enjoying it as it all unfolds before them. Here's how to begin approaching your riding and interactions with your horse the same way...

50+ Ideas for 15 Minutes or Less with Your Horse - Download for Free HERE As riders, we can often have a very negative association with tension. Yet, without it, neither you nor your horse would remain upright! Take away the tension and both of you will go limp and become a 'dead weight' immediately. So, instead of seeing tension as the enemy - it's key to begin reshaping your understanding and your 'practice' of tension. You must begin managing your tension. Tension is absolutely 100% essential for both you and your horse. It's the presence of too much or excessive tension that causes the issues...  Tension management is often called relaxation when it is related to horses and riding. And, just like tension, many riders don't really understand the concept of relaxation as it pertains to riding and training horses. I don't want to go too deep into relaxation today (there is a previous post and episode on that HERE). What's important to understand about tension and relaxation is that it's not just about the horse. This principle is equally as important for the rider to understand and develop throughout their own body.  In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I will help you to begin developing more tension management throughout your body by beginning with creating 'calm' for both you and your horse. You will do this through your own actions and thoughts while working with your horse.

I mean, what could you possibly do in 15 minutes or less to move things forward, right?!  If this has been your thinking up to now, you're not alone. I was guilty of this... To be honest, I think we have all been there. However, once I began to reframe what those smaller chunks of time could be, everything changed! What would happen if you began seeing the value in finding small gaps of time to connect with your horse? Using short, focused time periods—15 minutes or less—can be a game changer for you, your riding, and your partnership with your horse. Here's why becoming more intentional (and excited) about the odd 15 minutes or so a few times a week can transform everything for both of you.

Get the FREE audio guide to help you and your horse successfully lunge in 3 days or less HERE If lunging is just not working for you and your horse, there is a whole element that you are missing out on when it comes to your training and your work together. In the previous Daily Strides Podcast episode and post, I spoke about 5 ways that you, the person lunging, might be struggling. In this post, I want to explore this from your horse's perspective. Riding is a team sport, lunging is the same. If your horse does not understand the concept, the questions, or the expectations around lunging, he will struggle... And you will most likely as well! Here are 10 reasons that your horse might be struggling with lunging and why this is blocking any progress for you both in using this method in your work together.

They often communicate through their behaviors. It's important to take the time to try and understand why your horse is reacting or responding the way he is. When you can figure out what's going on, you can help him to understand lunging. Addressing any of the struggles that show up will require clear, consistent communication, patience, and commitment with time to building your horse's confidence and understanding.

Hands up if, at some point in your riding journey, you've been guilty of thinking that lunging was a simple matter of your horse going in circles. Don't feel bad, I've been there too. Most riders have, and so many still are! Lunging is so much more than just running in circles. It is an amazing way to connect with your horse and compliment or continue with your training when riding.  Like most worthwhile things, it takes time, practice, and improving your skills to get the most from lunging. It's not something that just magically 'happens'. Between getting tangled in the lines to missed communication between you and your horse, lunging is an art. It's like riding. So when you approach it that way, you can begin to improve :) In this episode and post, I will focus on 5 common challenges that riders have when it comes to lunging. Now, Obviously, I say riders; I mean 'lungers', as in you on the ground in the circle with your horse trying to lunge :) Read the Full Article & Listen HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1349-5-reasons-youre-struggling-with-lunging-part1   Stop Struggling with Lunging! I can go on and on about the things that riders struggle with when it comes to lunging. These are just a few of the ones I hear about from riders on a weekly basis. And the sad part is that these challenges, which can make lunging feel frustrating or unproductive, can all be easily remedied or changed. With some clear guidance, you can really transform your lunging experience into something special for you and your horse.

And often it's the 'little things' that become the bigger sticking points for riders. Things like staying accountable, using feedback to make tweaks and changes, and creating a regular schedule filled with exercises and activities to move things forward. But all is not lost... It is still possible to move things forward - and reviewing your riding videos is a big part of that. I have already given you the 5 things to look for when reviewing your own riding and performance in a previous post HERE. Today I want to give you 5 things to focus on when reviewing your horse. Creating regular riding videos will allow you to be your own feedback person. The key is to simply document and make note of what's happening - without attaching any judgement Your Horse is Not You... So often, as riders, we can fall into the trap of 'seeing' our horse and our own body as 1 when watching videos of our riding. And yes, the idea is that you are moving and working together as 1. However, in order to make that happen, each individual must first become good at their part of the work. And that requires you to separate the reviewing. Review yourself first and then turn your attention to your horse. This way you will get a clearer overall picture of whats going on and what needs work individually for you both.

When you're working alone without a regular trainer or instructor, you must begin to create ways for self-review. Video is, hands down, the best way to do this, especially if your camera follows you. Automated motion tracking software makes this an affordable possibility for many riders now. But even if you don't have this technology, you can still simply use your phone, hit record, and ride. By creating regular riding videos where you are asking similar questions, riding similar movements, and reviewing them consistently, you create your own feedback. Similar to what a trainer or instructor would do in the arena.  However, the key to making this technique work for you is to figure out what to look for. Just watching the videos is not enough.  Many riders get caught up in simply looking at the video passively. Imagine if your instructor did that in the arena when working together?! I doubt that you would learn a whole lot, improve, or be very happy with the outcome! If you're reviewing your own riding videos, you need to act like your instructor or trainer. Look for specific things, for both you and your horse. And do this without judgment or criticism. In fact, you want to actually 'find' areas to improve, change, or clean up. Just like an instructor or trainer would...  Read the Full Post HERE  https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1346-reviewing-your-riding-videos-part-1-you-the-rider Links to Topics Discussed in this Episode Applying the 'Click Your Fingers Rule' to Your Riding Breaking the Habit of Poor Posture in Your Riding Weight Aids; Using them with Intention and Focus How to Secure a Swinging Lower Leg  Following & Allowing in Your Riding Online Training to Help Your Riding Information on Virtual Horse Riding Lessons Pivo Motion Tracking Software (*affiliate link for 10% off your purchase)  Daily Strides Premium Connection – Private Online Coaching for Equestrians Connect with Lorna online:- Instagram:- https://instagram.com/stridesforsuccess Facebook:- https://facebook.com/stridessuccess  Daily Strides Podcast Online Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcast Virtual Stable Lounge Private Group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1499737810323191
