In this episode, we’re diving deep into the Training Scale Masterclass—why it matters, how it helps, and how you can apply it in your daily rides. Enrollment is closing Monday, so this is your reminder to join if you haven’t already!

We chat about:

• Why the training scale is the foundation of all good riding
• How to use it as a problem-solving tool in real time
• The power of having a system vs. winging it with your horse
• Real-life training stories (both good and frustrating!)
• What makes the Training Scale Masterclass different
• A fun quiz at the end to place common exercises into the correct level of the training scale

Plus, we break down one of Germán's recent rides on his young mare using the training scale step-by-step—and yes, the emotional rollercoaster of good days vs. bad ones is very real!

Don’t forget: Enrollment for the Training Scale Masterclass closes Monday!

Only available until 11:55 pm PT Wednesday, July 23rd. Listen to the amazing recording from the Training Scale Webinar this past weekend where I go over:

>Why you can't afford to 'wait' for your trainer

>Ride with a step-by-step process that will work for you and your horse

>Ride, Solve Problems, and Boot your Confidence.

Last night Germán and I has a great chat about the Training Scale and how it helps for training your horse. We had some great questions sent in so we could share all about how the Training Scale can help you solve your problems with your horse.

Happy Riding,

Did you watch this week's YouTube video? Germán and I have been giving each other lessons this week! In this week's video Germán is riding Poppy and working on the leg yield to the canter, it's a super exercise for helping the inside hind be a little more engaged. It can really help you get the correct lead or if you are having trouble with canter transitions or your horse tends to throw their head up. We also got to answer some great questions that came in from you all too!

Happy Riding,

Amelia

Last night we announced the winners of our epic 30 Day Canter Challenge, I am so proud of each and every one of you!

Last night Nicole from my team stepped in to host the live session. She guides you through a thoughtful and strategic approach to planning your improvement and success as a rider.

She goes through a mid-year goal check-in & progress assessments, and how to use the training scale to identify challenges. She also shares tips for overcoming setbacks, correcting rider position, developing consistent warm-ups, and balancing progression with patience.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Happy Riding,
