‘This Episode focus’s on the idea that perhaps we can say that rather then seek the right contact, you should be seeking the right connection with your horse.’

 

This weeks podcast question is ‘How much contact is enough contact’ its a fun question because  essentially no one can answer that, its sort of a case of how long is a piece of string, to understand how much contact you need in your unique partnership with each unique horse your ride, you need to know the FEEL you are looking for. But at the end of the day, I will say this, the goal is to minimise the physical contact you have with the horse- always with all your aids, not just the reins.

In this episode we cover:

• What contact is
• What contact is used for
• Why contact is important
• The elements of contact
• My tips to improve your contact.

Contact its so so much about feel, its something you really need to get feedback and help with until you get the feel. You need help either live on your horse or via a video review. Contact is something I am so passionate about because it is so much more then just how to hold the reins, its about the mobile connection between you and your horse and because you and your horse are unique individuals, learning correct contact is such a personal process. I love helping people find this soft, light, harmonious, connection with their horse.

Happy Listening!
