🐴 4. GET GOOD THEMED WEEK: TIMING
Happy Monday💃
Last week we focused on breathing and this week we build on that even further because good timing becomes much easier when we slow down, soften, and become more aware instead of reactive.
This week, I want you to become obsessed with one thing:
👉 Not WHAT you do - but WHEN you do it.
Good timing can make a light aid feel meaningful where poor timing can make even the right exercise not. Often, the horse isn’t resisting the request, they’re reacting to delayed pressure, unclear release, or correction after the moment has already passed.
Timing is what gives communication meaning and improves only with experience and a thought process behind it.
🔹 Your 3 Focus Points This Week:
  • Reward faster, even for small tries
  • Notice if you correct too late instead of guiding earlier
  • Pay attention to the exact moment your horse searches for the right answer
Sometimes progress isn’t about adding pressure, it’s about becoming quicker to recognize and reward the thought you actually want.
❓This week, I’d love you to think about:
What changed when you focused more on timing?
Did your horse become softer, lighter, or more confident?
Or did you notice places where your timing could improve?
