Books with Spirit - Horse Riding

At first I called this article “practising crap only makes perfect crap”.  But that doesn’t work for the website search engines!

This article is a riding lesson that will produce quite amazing and fast results, from Jenny Pearce, the co-author of the life changing electronic book “Bobby’s Diaires - Straight From the Horse’s Mouth to You”.  And believe me, you will want this book. 

The way our brain works, once we have reacted a certain way in the past, once we have carried our body in a certain way while we are riding, we continue to ride like that, usually without even noticing.

Once the brain-body pattern is established, once the body’s reaction to discomfort’s and tensions have been established with tightness and stiffness, it can be difficult to change.

And these tightnesses and stiffnesses  are exactly the opposite of what we want in our riding – they are not useful to us!  I’ve noticed that even some fabulous, top riders can have some of these tight or stuck spots.

So that as we practise our riding, if we practise the same way we did last time, that is not useful to us either – because little or nothing changes.

So …. want to make some reeee…ally fast progress to improve your riding?

Here’s an article that I wrote about my work with Bobby towards bridle-less piaffe about six months ago. You can use this to work towards piaffe yourself, to think about the tiny baby steps that you need to break it down into to get there yourself.

One of the readers of the elctronic book “Bobby’s Diaries - Straight from the Horse’s Mouth to You” asked me to help her ride bridle-less, with just a string around her horse’s neck, so I thought I’d post this for everyone to have a play with.

Simulations WITHOUT our horse are a valuable way of learning without putting the pressure on our horse that so often happens when we are exploring a new way of doing something
