Episode 38: How to ride your horse on the bit
In this episode I talk about what the purpose of riding the horse "on the bit" is, (spoiler alert its not just to win pretty ribbons) and why I'm not a fan of side reins, chambons and other artificial aids to create it.
This podcast comes with a video training, you can watch it here, so that you have a visual to go with these concepts. Because, I get it!!! Just listening to this words can be super confusing!!! So make sure you watch this video to get a visual for hollow, on the forehand, engagement, seeking contact, behind the bit, flexing away at the third vertebrae etc.
If you're listening to this and your thinking:
- I don't know how to strategically combine my exercises for topline development.
- I thought all I had to do is tuck my horses nose in and now I'm realising why I'm stuck in my training
- I don't know how to work with soft hands my horse trusts, seeks and looks to for guidance.
Check out our online membership that lays the whole process out for you from our holistic horsemanship approach where we include emotional agility and self regulation, cue training and how to complement our exercises for soundness and impulsion. Check the membership out here.
