Who says you need an arena to school your horse?

In this week’s episode of Equine’n’Wine, we’re taking your training out on the trail, sharing simple and effective ways to incorporate lateral work into your everyday hacks — no fancy setup required.

With our “laugh as you learn” approach, Lorna brings the expert guidance while Emma-Jane asks the questions we’re all thinking (and shares a few very real-life moments along the way!).

💬 In this episode, we cover:
• How to use everyday markers like telephone poles for turn on the forehand exercises
• Simple leg yield exercises from one track to another
• Practising shoulder-in and haunches-in while staying on a straight line
• When (and when not!) to attempt turn on the haunches
• Why hacking might actually be one of the best places to improve your horse’s training

📩 Featuring a listener question from Aoife in Galway, how do you know if you’re doing it right ?

This episode is all about being resourceful, creative, and intentional with your riding — because better horsemanship doesn’t come from perfect facilities… it comes from how you ride.

💡 Lorna’s Golden Nugget:
How to Leg Yield without shoving your horse!

So next time you head out for a hack, why not turn it into a schooling session?
