Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

Re the clinic in Tasmania  recently, I was commenting on how tough they are down there, riding in all sorts of weather and realised that I hadn’t made much of a deal about the dry seat saddle pads that encouraged them by keeping them dry and warm while riding in the lousy weather.  I must say I was pretty impressed and put one on my “must have” list!

The wet weather covering for the rider rolls out simply from the front of the saddle pad covers that part of us that always seems to get wet in the bad weather, our lower body!

Cynthia Cooper at Natural Horse World reviews all her products extensively and has a great little web shop down in Tasmania that sends out all over the world. You can get more info about one of these saddle pads from Cynthia by clicking here

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?

Bobby’s Diaries has a chapter in it about how we solved a really bad, long term, biting horse, that is absolutely brilliant. 

I’ve just made an excecutive decision to put that chapter up on the website.  Trouble is, the chapter uses eye opening concepts that are explained in great detail earlier in the book.  But I suspect you will still get heaps of value out of it and of course, you can always buy the book.
