  • Feldenkrais, horse training and looking for "feel"

    A talk about Feldenkrais, horses and feel with Caroline Ritter.


    Bodý awareness is about exploring for both of us. 
    But in a little different ways.
    Here we are exploring our thoughts on the subject. 

    If you are interested exploring together with us we have an upcoming series of lesson starting with ”Connection”

    It will consist of us talking strategies how we can show up more connected in our own body as a preparation to connect more with our horse. Followed by a Feldenkrais lesson on the same subject.

  • 3 words to guide us 2023

    Joined by my good friends and awesome humans Do Groen and Ulrika Anderasson we are continuing on with the newly made tradition of picking one word for the year to come.

    So last year a friend of mine sent me this idea to pick a word to set the tone for the upcoming year. I quite love it. The idea is to choose a word that will work as kind of polestar. It will help you navigate. It will help you with perspective. ”It is both the port of call and the wind at your back helping you get there. It pushes and pulls you”.

     The idea is also to activily choose the word for the year not to have the year choose it for you in retrospect.  Here we chat a little about our thoughts and hopes for the coming year.

  • Build a reward based foundation for your horse part 1

    Core skills and foundation behaviors. Why do we need them, what are they and why should we spend time building them?? Doesn't matter what we want to do with our horses, these behaviors can be used to build whatever we want…but if we want to build dressage in new ways without guiding our horse with pressure this is of great importance.

    What are the first behaviors that we should train our horses?
    This is going to be my personal answer but some of the behaviors I include here are more universal for r+ trainer I think.....havent met an r+ trainer who doesnt work with targets for example.

  • Session structure to help with clarity and frustration -a chat with Do Groen

    In this episode we chat about how session structure helped us create more balance and relaxation and how "pause" can be used as a structure tool.

    I am joined by the lovely dutch horse trainer Do Groen and together we share from our experience from when we started training reward based and give some examples how it can look when we do a session today.

  • Different types of balance in horse training

    In this episode:
    Coming from the view on horse training as something that we do to help the horse become better at being a horse, we will have look at different ways to create physical and emotional balance.

    This is the key to relaxation and connection and a gymnastically sound horse. But how does it look and how do we get there? Are there different kinds of balance. Can we have to much of it?

    We are starting to scratch the surface in which directions we can look for and how to set up balanced sessions and create balance between behaviors. For sure there's PLENTY  more to dive into but it's a start.

    Thanks for listening!
