In this podcast, JJ talks about how the 3 stages of training actually show up in every exercise we do, every time we ride. Being able to adjust the dials and correctly gymnastize your horse while keeping these 3 stages in mind not only helps your horse gain the strength and skill to go up the levels, it also stops what we often call "training holes" from ever becoming a deep-rooted problem that needs to be addressed after they've taken hold.

The 2 books JJ references are The Athletic Development of the Horse, and Dressage Principles Illuminated both

A common problem, JJ offers some new insights on why it happens, and how to fix it.

Drop your whip and spurs and take a closer look at why your horse may be "lazy" and how you can make some changes that will make "behind the leg" a problem you used to have!

Dave Thind is a German classically trained dressage rider who has developed a deep passion for the Feldenkrais method after discovering for himself how effective it can be.

Dave has developed a rider-specific Feldenkrais method that helps you learn that ever-elusive 'feel' as a rider, but it also can help with pain and dysfunction caused by injury and past movement patterns.

A fascinating method, Feldenkrais is not an exercise program but a technique that uses thoughtful movement and directed attention.

Enjoy this conversation where Dave's passion for his work shines through and inspires us to realize we absolutely can help ourselves feel and move better.

The book Dave references in this podcast is The Brain's Way of Healing by Norman Doidge.
