You spend hours training your horse, then you go somewhere and well,,,, train your horse. :-) Me? My mare did awesome the other day. Sure she is not perfect LOL, but after sleeping on how she did, I made the comment that it was time. You ask time for what? Time for me to start working on Me. I need to get quiet, supportive and hold up my side of the partnership. Basically trainers warm up their horses with a basic plan (like stretching before doing a sprint race), depending on the horse they may include a light reminder about an item or two. During the race, they where in the moment riding their race. After the race a few came back in and did some light reminder training before leaving. I noticed a real focus, the pros where riding their race probably from the moment they got up that morning. As they warmed up, waited their turn, and rode their race they where focusing on Riding Their Race.
Its time, time for me to be in the moment and Ride My Race.
About Me
- Michelle
- Colorado, United States
- Been working with horses for a few years. As a teenager I was very luck to have a wonderful all around instructor that helped me see the need for an all around balanced horse. I enjoying training horses from the ground up. My emphasis starts in the arena, I find many horses benefit from some basic dressage and confidence building in the arena, then move to the trail, where they seem to enjoy getting out and about. My funnest challenge so far has been putting a 3 yr old proven breeding stallion under saddle.
