If you have to force it, it’s probably crap 😂😂 I just ready this and loved It!! It’s true of so many people doing laterals and dragging the horse (or pushing it on the ground) into a lateral step. So this week we’ll break down the steps and how to put them together. It should feel like a dance. It should start from the hind and there should be flow. Break it down to build it up.

Being able to manoeuvre your horse for a gate is just the start of great body control. Here we take you thru what’s needed to succeed at a gate

So many people look to build their confidence with bravery when they come to a clinic or lessons. But the truth is you don’t need to be brave to be confident. In fact trying to be brave can often knock confidence. Confidence comes when you have answers. When you know what to do next. When you have done something enough that it becomes easy. Horses are predictable - when you know them well - so time builds confidence. Practice builds confidence. Find the people that help you with the answers. Just pushing thru won’t always cut it. You need to know what, why, when.

Does anyone else ever have the urge to ride in the middle of the night lol or is it just me?
