It can seem like something that only novice or beginner riders would worry themselves with; revisiting the basics.  After all, surely there's a point where, as riders, we can 'set and forget' a couple of things in our riding? Basics like position and the aids.  Or trotting and cantering...

And I think a lot of this stems from the fact that we see the basics as being, somehow, for beginners.  For riders who are only just getting started on their journey.  Surely not riders who have been hard at work for 5, 10, 40 years... Or riders who are competing at high levels. 

And yet, if riders could begin to swap out the word 'basics' and replace it with the 'essential foundations for the current level of work or development', revisiting those old places, from this 'new level', wouldn't seem so bad after all, would it?
