Ever feel like you're doing everything right in the saddle… But your horse is still resistant, crooked, or just not quite “with” you? What if the real issue isn’t your horse, but something you're not seeing in yourself?

In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians, we’re taking a fresh look at how video can help uncover the real reason things might feel off during your ride.

I’m sharing why so many riders miss critical asymmetries and habits that are actually holding their horses back. And how video can become your most honest, effective riding coach.

🐴 In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why riding is truly a team sport between you and your horse

• How common rider asymmetries show up and how they affect your horse’s balance and way of going

• Why focusing on saddle fit for the rider is just as important as for the horse

• Real-life examples of how video helped riders uncover imbalances they didn’t know existed

• The mindset shift from blaming the horse to getting curious about your role in the ride

• Practical ways to begin using video today to transform your awareness

• Suggestions for bodywork professionals who can help get you back in balance
