This week’s Q&A was a fun mix of rider position, balance, and some great behind the scenes updates from Florida. I was also joined by Nicole from my team, it has been so great to have here for a few days!

I shared some great takeaways from my clinic with Sue Martin last weekend.

We shared a few exciting updates about wrapping up 30 Days to Dressage, upcoming World Cup plans, and some really encouraging progress with Mik. One of the big themes in this episode is how much consistent training adds up over time, even when it feels like progress is slow in the moment.

We also talked through some really helpful rider position ideas, and had a great discussion about posture, lower leg position, and how small rider habits can make a big difference in balance and communication.

Then we answered some Strides member questions about canter transitions, lower leg placement, tipping forward in the canter depart, and what to do when horses get inverted or motorbike through the turns.

Happy Riding, Amelia
