What this episode is all about & how it can help you:-

• Understand what resistance is in your horse
• Start with taking steps back to simple
• Realise the importance of rewarding every little positive element
• Know how far to take each ride

Most riders have been there, some more regularly than others... You are mounted up, in the arena with your horse. Your plans are all laid out in your head for the upcoming schooling session or ride. And you are feeling positive and ready to get it done. However, you sense that your horse is, well, not feeling the same way. In fact, you get the distinct feeling that he would much rather be somewhere else, doing something else. It's not that he is being naughty, but rather uninterested and there is definitely resistance to what you are asking. In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast I want to chat about how, very often, when this happens 'pushing on through' is not the best way of approaching your horse. I want to give you some other ideas that can get you both back on the same page with your focus and your more... Happy Riding, Lorna
