When you think of cryotherapy, you probably picture a human stepping into a freezing cold chamber — but did you know cryotherapy is now helping horses without the giant ice-box contraptions? This week on The Fur Real Podcast, we dive into the cold, hard facts with Brady Case of Precision Equine Therapy, a pioneer bringing mobile cryotherapy directly to horses (and even their owners!). Brady breaks down how targeted cryotherapy triggers a powerful physiological response that reduces pain, inflammation, and promotes faster healing — often slashing recovery times in ways that seem almost unbelievable. We talk about the science behind the chill, why cold therapy works so effectively for injuries and maintenance, and how his mobile system makes it easy for horse owners and trainers to integrate cryotherapy into their regular care routines. Not only is Brady treating horses, but he's also empowering owners, trainers, and barn staff to learn the techniques themselves — creating a ripple effect of better health and recovery in equine communities everywhere. If you love learning about cutting-edge animal therapies, want to boost your horse's performance and recovery, or are just curious how a little cold can create such hot results, you won't want to miss this episode. www.furrealpodcast.com   www.pecryo.com fb The Fur Real Podcast      fb Mark A Kyle fb Precision Equine Cryotherapy ig@thefurrealpodcast    ig@markakyle ig@precision_equine_therapy tik tok  @The Fur Real Podcast      tik tok @pecryo Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Using short, focused time periods—15 minutes or less—can be a game changer for you, your riding, and your partnership with your horse.

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.

Get Information on Virtual Horse Riding Lessons HERE Working alone without a regular instructor or trainer is tough. 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

When it comes to horses, riding, and training rhythm is often misunderstood and taken for granted. I think this is because horses are generally good at creating a pattern, but also, we tend to simply accept the first version of rhythm that's served up to us! And while that version will certainly be a pattern, it's the quality we need to begin paying attention to. A good quality rhythm can dramatically transform a lot when it comes to riding and training your horse; it's well worth your time, attention, and effort to improve. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I will help you to understand rhythm as it relates to your horse. How to know if you're simply accepting what's there, and how you can begin to improve it for you both as well.

When COVID changed the world, actress Dawn Olivieri (Yellowstone) embarked on a life-altering journey. Leaving Hollywood behind, she moved to the rugged landscapes of Arkansas, where she felt called to start something truly transformative: Moon Mountain Sanctuary. What began as a leap into the unknown soon became a powerful mission to rescue horses from kill pens, creating a haven where they could live in peace and safety. Dawn didn't ease her way into animal rescue—she threw herself in, heart and soul, saving an entire herd from the start. Her story is a testament to resilience, passion, and the belief that when you follow your intuition, it often leads you exactly where you're meant to be. Through heartache, grit, and unwavering dedication, Dawn has reimagined what's possible for horse rescue, offering new hope in an industry where every saved life matters. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in second chances, purpose-driven work, and the healing power of animals.

As well as understanding, patience, and a deep respect for the unique partnership you're creating. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I want to give you some practical steps you can use to strengthen the connection with your horse.  I think that the beginning of building a connection with your horse starts with understanding your own expectations.

Find out more about Daily Strides Premium HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/dsp Being on a horse who is determined to run as fast as he possibly can towards every pole, fence, or jump that he sees is nerve-wracking! There are many reasons your horse might do this. And assuming that you have ruled out discomfort or pain, then retraining can begin. Unfortunately, retraining a horse who has become practiced in rushing jumps is a long and slow process. It requires time and consistency. And often requires the rider to make some changes as well.  In this episode, plucked directly from Daily Strides Premium, we will focus on you, the rider. My goal here is to help you identify where you might just be 'enabling' or even encouraging your horse's tendency for rushing jumps! I know this sounds a little bananas, but it happens more often than you think! This is an audio horse riding lesson and can be listened to as you ride your horse to help you become more aware of what you are doing in the saddle and how this may be influencing your horse. Read the full post & get all links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1341-retraining-rushing-jumps-working-on-the-rider-first/ Re-schooling Rushing Jumps on the Flat If you have been struggling with this challenge, the month of October 2024 in Daily Strides Premium is dedicated to working on this. This episode is the first lesson from a week of audio horse riding lessons titled "Re-Schooling the Basics for Both Horse & Rider on the Flat". In this group of lessons, we begin working towards re-training a horse who is rushing fences by working on the basic aids, responsiveness and, equally as important, how the rider thinks. Remember, re-shooling a horse usually also involves re-training the rider to think and act differently.  The horse will respond better if the rider changes their approach and is consistently correct in what they are doing and asking…. These lessons will help you to develop better habits and responses.

What would happen if you went 'all in' on one specific area of training or developing with your horse for the next 90 or so days?  If you laser focus every interaction to support and strengthen the thing you want to improve or make happen? As I'm writing this, there are about 90 days left in the year, which ties in nicely with goals, etc. However, whenever you're reading or listening to this, I want to encourage you today to begin your own 90-day journey with your horse... Starting today. Two things are absolutely essential for successfully training and developing horses and riders; time and consistency.  90 days is the timeframe for this particular focus or intention. Consistency is how you show up and the actions you take, over and over again. And if consistency is a challenge for you, remember that you are almost certain to be consistent with things. It's just the wrong things or actions that you're being consistent with!

How often do you get out on the trail with your horse? There are no right or wrong answers to this question. However, I find it interesting how most riders fall into 2 categories when it comes to trail riding or hacking with their horse. They see it purely as a way to relax or unwind with their horse. And then you have a smaller 2nd group who understand that it's a great way to work with and train their horse. You can use trail riding to relax 'or' train your horse. The key is to become intentional about which option you choose on any given day when out of the arena.  Today, I want to encourage you to begin getting more intentional about your time on the trails with your horse. And to encourage you to see this as an amazing opportunity to build the connection with your horse; regardless of your focus on any specific day... So, let's first look at the benefits you can experience when you include more trail riding into your current training schedule or riding routine.

Start being consistent in your riding today with Daily Strides Premium It's always great to get out of the arena, so let's do it today - together! And not just to relax and chill, I want to help you use the energy of being out of the arena to improve the quality of your halt. The halt is a movement that many riders fail to use in their training. And yet it is so versatile and, when ridden well, has so many benefits to the overall training for horse and rider. And of course, being able to stand still while outside of the arena is also really important for both safety and practical reasons... Is there anything as bad as being stuck trying to open or hold a gate?  Or waiting for traffic to pass and your horse is refusing to stand still?! This audio horse riding lesson comes straight from Daily Strides Premium. Meaning you should listen while mounted up and  It's the first of a week of lessons titled "Fun Exercises to Ride While on a Hack". So if you're looking for something different to try with your horse, check out the rest of the lessons at Daily Strides Premium. So mount up and enjoy the lesson! And, as mentioned at the end, the following 4 audio horse riding lessons that accompany this one are available for you, right now, inside of Daily Strides Premium.

Become consistent in your riding - starting today - with Daily Strides Premium There are a number of things that, when we speak about working with our horses, can feel almost impossible for some riders. This is especially true if your horse is very 'laid-back' or 'lazy'.  Other riders are working on channeling energy, etc. and you feel like if you could just ignite a little enthusiasm in your horse, it would be a win! It's always worth remembering that all horses are different. And some will naturally be less enthusiastic than others. However, this does not have to mean that you must give up your hopes and dreams of ever having a willing partner. However, you may need to begin varying your approach or moving the goalposts a little when it comes to your expectations and desired outcomes. Deciding how to proceed forward with a horse who does not seem to have as much enthusiasm or interest will require you to answer this question first:- Is my horse naturally laid back or is he simply ignoring me and being unresponsive?  Today, I want to help you begin to decide which of these two is true for your horse - especially if it feels like both of you are going nowhere slowly! Read the Article and all Relevant Links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1336-is-your-horse-naturally-laid-back-or-unresponsive-and-ignoring-you   Getting Help in Your Riding There is a whole month of training dedicated to this topic inside of Daily Strides Premium to help riders who are struggling with a horse who is not as 'forward' as they would like.

Can you remember exactly how this date was last month for you and your horse? What about the month before? Didn't think so... And yet, maybe you're like so many other riders and have a complete aversion to writing things down! Why is that?! I know that I love writing down 'things that have yet to happen'. You know, planning and creating 'to-do' lists. However, when it comes to taking the time to record what actually happened... Not so much! And this is less about being lazy and more about truly believing that I'll remember it all! Honestly! I don't and I bet you don't either, right?! Especially once you get past the two or three week mark. Regularly reviewing your riding is one of the most powerful tools you have as a rider when it comes to getting feedback. Especially if you don't have a regular trainer or coach to work with.  Read More, Access Links & Listen to Episode HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1335-using-reviews-to-transform-your-riding   Online Training to Help Your Riding Daily Strides Premium Connection - Private Online Coaching for Equestrians   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

Are you happy with where you are right now in your riding journey? If you've been feeling a little stuck or ‘behind' regarding progress for you and your horse, today is the day you can begin changing all of that; whether you make it to the yard right now, or not. The key to feeling better about yourself as an equestrian is to take action and actually do something. However, you might find that you're at this point where the action is the issue! It simply doesn't feel fun, exciting, or interesting anymore! One of the major reasons riders stop riding is due to their riding and interactions with their horse beginning to feel ‘same-old, same-old'. Becoming intentional in your riding is a surefire remedy for this :) This is Your Responsibility As riders, we can often forget that horse riding, just like everything else in life, has a ‘honeymoon phase' to it. The initial few weeks or months where it doesn't really matter what happens, it's all good and you love it! And calling it a ‘phase' is very intentional because this season of your riding journey will come to an end.  Sooner or later. Are you guilty of getting caught up in the initial ‘novelty' of riding or having a horse, only to begin wondering what's gone wrong now that the ‘newness' is fading? No matter where you are as a rider, one of your top responsibilities is to keep the conversation and the work fresh for you and your horse. Looking for ways to weave intentional curiosity and challenges into each interaction. Finding methods and exercises that will keep you both learning and developing. Becoming intentional in your riding is the most effective way of keeping you and your horse interested in the work – and in each other.  When the Novelty Begins to Wear Off So, in order for you to become intentional in your riding, you first need something to work towards. A goal or a specific outcome of sorts. This ‘something' needs to be both achievable and realistic for you and your horse when combined with your current resources and seasons of life.

Contact is something so many riders want to achieve when working with their horses. However, it's always worthwhile remembering that your horse was not born knowing how to be ridden.  This means that contact is something both of you must learn about and then refine through your work together. For many horses, the challenge is made even more difficult when they have been taught something completely different about contact because they had a previous career. Especially if that career was racing.  When working with horses, especially ex-racehorses or OTTBs, we need to understand that there will be both training and re-training involved.  And sometimes, the retraining can be a little more challenging than the training due to your horse wanting to ‘revert', especially when they feel stressed or anxious.

Just like us, all horses are different. They all interact with the world in their unique way. Their reactions and their responses. What would happen if you tailored your interactions with your horse specifically so that your horse can best understand and follow along? If each 'horse conversation' was a special one? If you could tailor your aids to your horse? When you can begin to become mindful about tailoring your communication to your horse, your training, partnership, and skills will improve much more quickly. So it makes sense to begin studying your horse - and figuring out what he really listens to in your riding. Especially if you're noticing that your horse is not focused when working together. Or you're just not getting the results you want in your riding.

Whether you've just purchased a new horse, or the opportunity to regularly ride a different horse, the first few rides can feel a little daunting. Especially if you are coming back to riding after a break or you're used to riding another horse. One of the best things you can do is to begin assessing where you are both at in terms of training and communication. This episode is the first in a week of 5 lessons called 'First Rides for Confidence on Your New Horse' which are available now inside of Daily Strides Premium.  Those first few rides have to happen and if done right, can set a positive tone for both of you as you work together going forward. And these rides are the perfect time to really pay attention, assess where you both are in your training together and then build your relationship together.  In this episode, I will walk you through an exercise you can do while in the saddle to begin figuring out where you both are in your training.

Deciding to work towards something specific in your riding is a good thing. And, usually, you will feel positive about that decision, and all the work involved to get there, initially. Until you realize you must 'do' the work - and the novelty starts to wear off a little! Riding, just like most things, will involve effort. Especially when you are working to improve or reach a specific goal or outcome. And that 'effort' can often result in you quitting!  It's normal to experience all of the excitement at the beginning of something. A new hobby, project, or goal.  And it's also 'normal' to notice that as you get further down the road, it can feel hard.  This is to be expected and even planned for with your goals. What's less 'normal' is to find the stamina to push on through that resistance you feel and cross the finish line. To see the goal or project to completion. That takes perseverance!  Read More & Get All the Links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1329-getting-through-tough-times-in-your-riding   Equestrian Fitness Challenge '24 Let's walk together for 21 days and have a chat about how you can do much more than you think you can as a rider and an equestrian… I am so excited to bring you along on this journey for the 100% FREE 2024 Equestrian Fitness Challenge There will be a daily walk, a 10 minute daily yoga practice, and lots of tips, ideas, exercises, and ways to improve so that you can show up as the best version of you – for you and your horse.

Sign Up for the NEW & Free Groundwork Webinar HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/webinar/    Horses are herd animals by nature. They will always choose to be with 'their herd' when they feel uncomfortable or worried about something. And this can become a big problem for riders. This is partially due to training and development requiring both horse and rider to 'get out of their comfort zone'. Your horse's past training or experiences can also play a big role in how he responds or feels about leaving his 'herd'... And whether you need to build your horse's confidence in himself and you, or focus on retraining him regarding his expectations and yours, it will require time, patience, and consistency to overcome. And a 'herd' does not have to mean a whole field full of horses frolicking and running wild in open pastures. It can mean this, but it doesn't have to! Your horse's 'herd' can be him, his horse friend, and the donkey they share the field with. It can be the one horse he lives 'beside' most of the time, in the neighbouring stable or paddock. Or, your horse's 'herd' can also be the two goats he lives with full-time in the small paddock. Horses, being social creatures, will 'bond' with whoever they spend most of their time with. And once your horse has bonded, it can become quite the performance when you try to separate him from his 'herd'...   Read Full Article and Access to All Mentioned Links HERE https://stridesforsuccess.com/episode1328-is-your-horse-herd-sour-or-buddy-bound   Equestrian Fitness Challenge '24 Work on improving your overall strength, fitness, and stamina as a rider.

Only to realise, 15 to 20 minutes into the ride, that you are 'beat'!  Your legs are just not doing what you want them to do. Your head and shoulders feel like they weigh a tonne and self-carriage on your part is just exhausting! And as for coordination and concentration; nope and nope!

Apparently not like a lot of the typical equestrians that I know!  Let me explain; recently I asked riders to let me know what challenges they were having in their riding, in the hopes I could potentially help.  And I received so many replies from riders all over the world. Great right? Except for the line of text that so many of those emails contained...  "I'm not a typical equestrian". And because of this, the rider feeling unworthy of having their question answered...  Now, there were of course different versions of this; "I'm not your average rider" or "I'm much older than other riders".  And it was the tone of all of these similar statements that really got my attention.  To me, it seemed as though because they didn't see themselves as a 'typical equestrian', their question was not worthy of being answered.  Why is it that so many riders feel like this?

My goal for this episode today is to inspire you to have even better communication with your horse by improving your overall fitness in the saddle.  It really has absolutely nothing to do with your horse at all.  This is all down to you, and what you can do to become a better team leader, for "Team You and Your Horse"! Rider fitness is a topic that a lot of people seem to avoid or overlook its importance to the overall effectiveness of how the horse goes.  Many riders spend hours planning out fitness, feeding, and conditioning programs for their horse, but fail to pay attention to their own fitness. Riding is a team sport, you and your horse.  I believe it is unfair and irresponsible, for you as the rider not to try to be the best version of yourself in the saddle.  The best version of you is one that can respond quickly and effectively and this comes down to your fitness levels. Focusing on improving your riding fitness levels will have benefits in so many areas of your riding.

The more the merrier :)      Ask any rider what they want to make happen when it comes to their riding aids and, hopefully, creating truly independent aids will be high up there on that list.  Because, let's face it, your aids can only be as clear and useful in direct relation to how independent they are. But saying you want independent aids and working towards developing independent aids are two very different things. Especially when, as a whole, your aids are almost always used in conjunction with each other - not independently on their own... And yet, for each aid to become a useful member of your team of aids, I believe that you should first isolate each one and develop it intentionally and individually. Having one 'strong' independent aid when the rest are flapping about won't be enough to create clear conversations with your horse. Each aid must be strengthened in its own right and then be allowed to contribute to the overall team effort.

Let's GO!  Sign Up Today at https://stridesforsuccess.com/efc24   Whether you realize it or not, incorrect or bad posture is hurting your riding. And your horse's way of going. And this habit will usually continue unchecked for sometimes years.  I don't believe that riders ever initially set out to ride in a way that will negatively impact things. Usually what happens is that riding a certain way either produces a certain outcome or solves a particular challenge at some point... And then turns into a habit! But, what happens if you get stuck there?  Stuck with thinking the thoughts that cause you to use or carry your body a certain way...  Usually never good things! There are lots of reasons why you might have developed less than great posture when in the saddle.  Luckily, there are also lots of ways you can begin to both identify what's going on - and how to begin remedying it in your riding. Symptoms of Poor Posture in Riding If you have started to 'slip' a little where posture is concerned in your riding, there will be signs!  Definite and obvious signs.  This is good because when you know what to look for, it makes it easier to begin to make those small tweaks that can make all the difference for you and your horse.

Make sure that you're on my newsletter list to get more on this topic and so, so much more for riders who are working the majority of the time alone with their horse...           https://stridesforsuccess.com/newsletter Have you ever considered how different it could all be if you could open up more as a rider? Specifically around how, physically in the saddle, if you could expand yourself a little bit more, the difference it could have on your riding. And your mindset. Even your horse's way of going... Over the past few months, I have been running an in-person program on my farm South Africa based on Connection and Groundwork.  It has been such an amazing experience working with all these different riders We focused specifically on energy work, and becoming more aware of how we can intentionally use this to connect with our horses.  It was so much fun.  And, it got me thinking about riding and how so many riders are blocking the kind of flow with the energy in their riding, especially with their physical body.   So, in this week's episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, I would love to walk you through a few simple exercises you can do, from the saddle, to begin to identify where you are, potentially, contracting as a rider.

Join Daily Strides Premium TODAY and get all 4 exercises straight to your phone https://stridesforsuccess.com/dsp  If there is one place where the ‘endless circle' reigns supreme, it is in the small arena… Or any smaller space riders find themselves having to make use of for prolonged periods.  In fact, this was the very reason I began the Daily Strides Podcast way back when! Saying a lasting, even final, 'Goodbye' to the endless circle should be a goal that all riders want to achieve... Especially if riding in a smaller space! However, having a smaller area is not as limiting as many riders think it will be. In fact, riding in a smaller space can often help both you and your horse to become more focused and accurate.  And these are always useful and helpful when you finally do move out and begin riding in a larger space. This month I want to challenge you to look at those same ‘limitations' as opportunities for you to develop and build your conversation with your horse instead. Exercises for a Smaller Space This week's episode of the Daily Strides Podcast is the 'Monday Lesson' of a week of audio horse riding lessons from Daily Strides Premium.  In this group of lessons, we work on 4 different exercises that you can ride to develop and train your horse when in a smaller space.

So you're back in the saddle. It feels amazing and you love how each ride is jam-packed with learning new things and rediscovering little things you'd forgotten. However, once the initial excitement begins to wear off, you'll probably start thinking about how to improve your skills. Self-assessment is a skill all riders can practice and improve. And it is essential if you want to improve your riding – and your horse's overall way of going. The challenge can be knowing what to look for.  Being able to identify the root cause of an issue from a symptom of something else. This takes practice. Here are a few things to look out for in those initial rides to create a solid foundation for your comeback to riding.
