  • 5 Reasons You’re Struggling with Lunging – Part 1

    Hands up if, at some point in your riding journey, you’ve been guilty of thinking that lunging was a simple matter of your horse going in circles. Don’t feel bad, I’ve been there too. Most riders have, and so many still are!

    Lunging is so much more than just running in circles. It is an amazing way to connect with your horse and compliment or continue with your training when riding. 

    Like most worthwhile things, it takes time, practice, and improving your skills to get the most from lunging. It’s not something that just magically ‘happens’. Between getting tangled in the lines to missed communication between you and your horse, lunging is an art. It’s like riding. So when you approach it that way, you can begin to improve :)

    In this episode and post, I will focus on 10 common challenges that riders have when it comes to lunging. Now, Obviously, I say riders; I mean ‘lungers’, as in you on the ground in the circle with your horse trying to lunge :)

     1. No Plan or Purpose for the Session

    Ah, the old ‘no plan’. Just like riding, if you are hoping to use lunging as a tool to improve your work with your horse or your horse’s training, you need a plan! It’s when you show up in the arena with no clear intention or focus for the session, that it can very quickly become ‘running in circles.

    Just like your riding, if lunging is to benefit your work with your horse, you need to take the time to create a plan that connects to your goals or vision for your horse’s training and your riding. 

     2. Getting All Tangled Up!

    Is there anything as frustrating as trying to explain something to your horse, while also trying to get ‘untangled’ from the lunging line?!  If you are going to use lunging as a tool to help you and your horse improve, you must learn how to use the lunging equipment! And it’s not just the lunge line. This extends to the whip, cavesson or bridle, boots, bandages, and all of the other things you can use to make the experience better and safer for you and your horse. ,

    If you feel awkward and overwhelmed about using the lunge line, it will transfer to your horse through ineffective, stiff, and muffled communication.

     3. Wrong Position & ‘Cues’

    Your position as it relates to your horse when lunging is as important as your seat when riding. It is the foundation for everything. And it is also one of the biggest struggles riders have when lunging! They find themselves blocking the horse by being too far forward, or driving the horse when too far back.

    And because your horse is in almost constant motion when lunging, your position in relation to your horse must be constantly adjusted to reflect what you want to communicate to your horse. One wrong move and you are having an entirely different conversation! 

     4. Struggling with the Whip…

    Before we begin, I STRONGLY believe this artificial aid has the wrong name. It should be called a pointer. Or an ‘extender’. Because that’s what it does. It ‘points’ to areas that you would like your horse to focus on, or it ‘extends’ your aids (which is its primary role when lunging). Unfortunately, there are so many riders who do not know how to lunge correctly and, therefore, rely far too much on the whip or use it incorrectly. And you don’t necessarily need to ‘whip’ the horse to do either of those things…

    Incorrect or overuse of the whip is never a good thing and, however well intended, will usually result in excessive tension, anxiety, or confusion for the horse. It’s an aid that must be used with your other aids for positive results

     5. No Link between Lunging & Riding Goals

    And finally, it all comes back to planning and becoming clear on your vision.  If you want to really strengthen your training and your partnership with your horse, you have to begin seeing everything you do together holistically – instead of lunging being a completely separate activity.

    Almost everything you can work on or work towards while in the saddle can be worked on in some way while on teh ground. And so often, it is the different perspective that really cements the concept for both you and your horse…

    Stop Struggling with Lunging!

    I can go on and on about the things that riders struggle with when it comes to lunging. These are just a few of the ones I hear about from riders on a weekly basis. And the sad part is that these challenges, which can make lunging feel frustrating or unproductive, can all be easily remedied or changed.

    With some clear guidance, you can really transform your lunging experience into something special for you and your horse. I have created a free 3 Days to Successful Lunging audio program you can use today to start you on your journey. Get it for free by CLICKING HERE

  • Reviewing Your Riding Videos Part 2 – Your Horse

    [fusebox_track_player url=”https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/dailystridespodcast/1347-Reviewing-Your-Videos-Part2-Your-Horse.mp3″ title=”Reviewing Your Riding Videos Part 2 – Your Horse” social_linkedin=”true” social_pinterest=”true” social_email=”true” ]

    Working alone without a regular instructor or trainer is tough. And often it’s the ‘little things’ that become the bigger sticking points for riders. Things like staying accountable, using feedback to make tweaks and changes, and creating a regular schedule filled with exercises and activities to move things forward. But all is not lost… It is still possible to move things forward – and reviewing your riding videos is a big part of that.

    I have already given you the 5 things to look for when reviewing your own riding and performance in a previous post HERE. Today I want to give you 5 things to focus on when reviewing your horse.

    Creating regular riding videos will allow you to be your own feedback person. The key is to simply document and make note of what’s happening – without attaching any judgement

    Your Horse is Not You…

    So often, as riders, we can fall into the trap of ‘seeing’ our horse and our own body as 1 when watching videos of our riding. And yes, the idea is that you are moving and working together as 1. However, in order to make that happen, each individual must first become good at their part of the work. And that requires you to separate the reviewing.

    Review yourself first and then turn your attention to your horse. This way you will get a clearer overall picture of whats going on and what needs work individually for you both.

    Here are the things to focus on initially when reviewing your horse:-

    a) Working & Thinking ‘Forward’

    The basics of basics – forwardness. And yet, so often this absolutely essential key ingredient is missing from the work. Your horse MUST be both thinking and working forward when you are working together. This will show up in how he moves and how attentive he is.

    If your horse is lacking forwardness, everything else will fall flat. So take the time to assess this first – and then move on from there.

    There is a training HERE on this topic called “4 Actions to Maintain ‘Forward’ in Your Riding”.

    b) Focus & Concentration

    My next point to look for when reviewing videos of your horse working is to notice how ‘present’ he is with you in the arena or space. Does he seem to want to be there? Or is he giving definite vibes of wanting to be somewhere else? Maybe back at the stables (he might keep drifting towards the gate), or with his friends in the paddock (he is looking and calling for them).

    Keep in mind that concentration may we weak initially if your horse is young, green, or coming back into work after a break. It can be strengthened and developed with time

    There is a training HERE on this topic called “Why Improving Your Accuracy Will Improve Your Engagement in Your Riding “.

    c) Responsiveness

    Responsiveness is key for both you and your horse to work together. When you ask a question, he must respond. And, for the most part, this happens. What I think you should focus on is how prompt the response is from your horse towards your question…

    Do you ask, ask, ask, ask, and on the next go he ‘might’ respond to your question? If so, responsiveness is definitely something that needs work for you both!

    And keep in mind that responsiveness is usually a rider issue – so this may line up with what you’ve noticed about your riding from your review on yourself as well…

    There is a training HERE on this topic called “Improving Your Horses General Responsiveness”.

    d) Rhythm & Tempo

    When looking at the rhythm and tempo, you can actually assess relaxation as well. Neither rhythm nor relaxation can exist for any length of time without each other. You’ll probably notice that your horse has a rhythm – horses are generally rhythmic by nature. However, it’s the quality of the rhythm that your focus will zone in on. And how well your horse can maintain the rhythm when asked different questions or doing something ‘new’.

    The goal for rhythm is to have clarity and definition within each stride. How defined are your horses beats within each gait? And how often are they repeating? Are you happy with the tempo?

    There is a training HERE on this topic called ” Why Not All Rhythm is Equal in Riding”.

    e) Suppleness – Bending (or the lack thereof)

    As you know well, suppleness is another essential when it comes to your horse’s way of going. And, again, just like everything else, our own challenges as riders can have a big impact on this. Is your horse ‘kinked’ or braced the wrong way through turns, bends, and corners? Is he falling in or falling out? How about simple flexion through the jaw, poll, and neck?

    What I would look for here is how well he can bend, flex, or simply flow with the curve of the line that he’s being asked to ride. Any rigidness, bracing, working against, or ‘wrong’ flexion or bend is where you can start addressing the issues.

    There is a training HERE on this topic called “How Flexion Can Transform Your Riding “.

    Reviewing Your Riding Videos

    By investing time watching and taking notes on regular videos of you and your horse working together, you can absolutely move both of your training forward. Even if you don’t have a regular instructor, coach, or trainer.

          • Learn how to set your videos up for the best results HERE
          • And learn how to assess your riding in your videos HERE

    All it takes is consistency, non-judgement, and your time. Then take what you have identified and create a plan to begin working on it over the coming weeks and months.

    If you would like help in your riding, I offer virtual lessons for riders. We will train together from the comfort of your own arena. You can find all the details HERE and HERE.

  • Reviewing Your Riding Videos Part 1 – You the Rider…

    [fusebox_track_player url=”https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/dailystridespodcast/1346-Reviewing-Riding-Videos_part1-You-the-Rider.mp3″ title=”Reviewing Your Riding Video’s Part 1 – You, the Rider” social_linkedin=”true” social_pinterest=”true” social_email=”true” ]

    When you’re working alone without a regular trainer or instructor, you must begin to create ways for self-review. Video is, hands down, the best way to do this, especially if your camera follows you. Automated motion tracking software makes this an affordable possibility for many riders now. But even if you don’t have this technology, you can still simply use your phone, hit record, and ride.

    By creating regular riding videos where you are asking similar questions, riding similar movements, and reviewing them consistently, you create your own feedback. Similar to what a trainer or instructor would do in the arena. 

    However, the key to making this technique work for you is to figure out what to look for. Just watching the videos is not enough.  Many riders get caught up in simply looking at the video passively. Imagine if your instructor did that in the arena when working together?! I doubt that you would learn a whole lot, improve, or be very happy with the outcome! If you’re reviewing your own riding videos, you need to act like your instructor or trainer.

    Look for specific things, for both you and your horse. And do this without judgment or criticism. In fact, you want to actually ‘find’ areas to improve, change, or clean up. Just like an instructor or trainer would… 

    1. Assessing Yourself – The Rider

    Start with what you can truly change or establish more control over; yourself and your own body! When you are reviewing, begin by looking at these key areas in your riding and taking notes on how well you did.

    a) Position & Posture

    So often, when things are not going to plan or do not happen as smoothly or effortlessly as we would like, the issue lies in our posture and position. Assess your lines. There’s the ‘head, shoulder, hip, heel’ line. And also the ‘elbow, wrist, thumb, rein, bit’ line. Are they aligned throughout the ride?

    Or are you:-

        • Tipping (hips, shoulders, or hands usually)
        • Swinging (lower leg & heel)
        • Crunching up (chest and upper body)
        • Gathering up (thighs and knees)
        • Gripping (knees)

    Pay attention to where the alignment is not as good as you would like and notice patterns. This is where you can begin your work the next time you ride. You can find a past episode of the podcast on this topic HERE

    b) Self-Carriage (esp. through Transitions)

    This also falls in under posture, but it is such a chronic issue for so many riders, that I want to give it a point of its own!  Collapsing before, during, or after transitions is a big issue. It is something that will affect both the gait before the transition, the transition itself, and how well your horse works in the ‘new’ gait as well.

    Focus on maintaining your alignment as you prepare the transition, ride the transition, and then allow into the new gait or after the transition. Your job is to set it up and then get out of your horses way to actually do what you’ve asked him to do… 

    There is a past episode of the podcast on this topic HERE

    c) Weight Distribution

    This one sounds a little odd, however, it is VITALLY important to both notice and tweak if and when necessary. Start by looking at what your seat (your bum) is doing when you ride through corners, bends, and turns. Is there a shift to one side or the other? Often you will see your seat ‘slide’ a little to the outside of the saddle… And, because of this, you’ll then usually see that one shoulder is dipping lower than the other to compensate!

    Imagine there is a line from the middle of the cantle to the middle of the pommel of your seat. Ideally, your seatbones should remain fairly consistent in being an equal distance from that line. If one gets closer or further, you’ve shifted your weight…

    You can find a past episode on this topic HERE

    d) Consistency of Legs, Shoulders, and Hands

    Now, this one is a little confusing – simply because it will sound like I’m contradicting myself in the next point. But hold on a moment… Consistent does not mean ‘stiff’ or ‘stationary’. It simply means that those parts are not waving about, high-fiving every passing tree, upright, or post!  And with regards to your hands; keep in mind that. you’re riding – not directing air traffic…

    Another thing to look at when it comes to consistency through your reins is how often you lengthen and shorten your reins… Are you guilty of ‘fiddling’? Consistency is essential for contact – no piano fingers ;) 

    You can find a previous episode on this topic HERE

    e) Moving with the Horse; Seat & Hands

    And just as parts of your body perform better when ‘consistent’, other parts must move with your horse to enable you both to move forward freely and in flow. Your seat and hands must remain supple and follow the lead of your horse. And, yes, I have said that your hands must be consistent. To be consistent and to follow may seem to contradict each other.

    However, all I mean is that you are not conducting an orchestra with hands flying all over the place – instead rather following your horses movement through steady consistent contact. 

    There is a previous episode on this topic HERE

    Reviewing Your Riding Videos

    Paying attention to all of these little things individually at the beginning will allow you to start having a good feel for what you can begin working on changing in the longer term. I do suggest doing regular reviews in order to really get the most out of this. However, even a once-off review will bring up a lot of different points to work on.

        • Learn how to set your videos up for the best results HERE
        • And learn how to assess your horse in your riding videos HERE

    And if you would like to get my eyes on your riding, lunging, or groundwork videos, all the details for a single private virtual lesson (including a video review) are HERE.

  • Using Video as a Tool for Your Training

    [fusebox_track_player url=”https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/dailystridespodcast/1345_Setting_Up_to_Record_Useful_Videos_of_Your_Riding.mp3″ title=”Using Video as a Tool for Your Training” social_linkedin=”true” social_pinterest=”true” social_email=”true” ]

    If you are training your horse or riding alone, the ability to create videos of you and your horse working together is invaluable. However, any old videos won’t do.

    With a few small adjustments, the quality of the videos you capture can make your reviewing process a lot easier.

    Today I want to give you 5 simple and actionable tips to create better videos of your riding so that you can begin adding video reviews to your training process.

    Choose Your Camera & Software

    You don’t need a fancy camera to begin taking useful videos of your riding. For most riders, their smartphone will have a good enough camera to do the job. However, you can also use a traditional camera.  Once you’ve decided what camera to use, the next decision will be to have it stationary at one point in your arena… Or to invest in some form of motion-tracking software.

    While a stationary camera will do the job, having a camera track you as you move around the arena can be a game changer… It allows you to focus on your riding – rather than worrying if you’re in the shot or not!

    I suggest Pivo for the motion tracking software (*this is an affiliate link) and if you use coupon DailyStrides at checkout you’ll receive 10% off your purchase.

    Get Strategic with the Position of Your Camera

    I’m going to suggest placing the camera at a higher vantage point if possible than just resting on the ground. If using the stationary method, often a fencing post, mounting block or tripod will work well. This will allow you to capture a clear and wide-angled view of the arena.

    The goal is to ensure that your stationary camera covers the area where you’ll spend the majority of your time when working with your horse, and that allows you to capture different perspectives.

    If using some form of motion tracking software, I suggest placing the tripod close to the centre of the arena, X, but slightly off to one side so as not to block the centre line. I have noticed that if you ride too close to the camera when using the motion tracking software, it can lose you, so be aware of that when positioning your camera.

    Check Lighting and Weather Conditions

    Natural light is always best, so try to record during the day if possible. Obviously if you can’t, you will have to make do with floodlights. But just be aware that the shadows can often ‘hide’ certain things! The same goes for harsh shadows or riding towards direct sunlight…  Rain is a no-no for your equipment, so avoid trying to video then. Wind can also cause issues or be a little risky depending on what surrounds your riding space.

    Choosing a fair, calm, and dry day to video will allow you to not only get the best visual results, but also to capture the audio. And this can be helpful if you ‘talk’ to yourself on the video to point out certain things.

    Use Markers for Accuracy & Consistency

    I am a BIG fan of using markers when working with our horses. They truly help us be more accountable. The issue is that so many riders associate them with dressage. And they feel that because their goal is not dressage-related, markers are not for them… WRONG!

    You can place cones or home-made markers at key points around the arena. They can help you to be consistent with the size, shape, and quality of different movements.

    Setting up something to mark the centre line is also useful, especially when assessing straightness and transitions without any help from the boundaries.

    Test Your Equipment Before You Begin!

    Now this might sound like Captain Obvious. However, I know so many riders who thought that they captured a great training session on video. Only to find that either it wasn’t recording or that the area they were working was out of the shot!

    Do a short test video before you dive into the ‘real work’ to make sure that it captures what you’re looking for; specific angles or movements, etc.

    Have a Plan for Your Work!

    Don’t waste your time wandering aimlessly around the arena. To get the most out of this method, a plan is necessary. Think about a specific goal that you’re working towards, maybe smoother transitions, increased responsiveness, improving your posture or position, etc. This way you can review the video later just like a riding instructor would do if in the arena with you at the time.

    Make time to do your review within the follow 24 to 48 hours. This way the session will still be fresh and you can use this to gain more insight into how things played out.

    Capturing Useful Videos of Your Riding

    This week, make time to follow these steps and begin documenting your journey as a rider. Remember, this will work for riding, lunging, groundwork, and other types and methods to interact with your horse.

    The key is to be consistent about capturing the videos and then reviewing them.

  • Inspiring You to Become Intentional in Your Riding & Training

    Inspiring You to Become Intentional in Your Riding & Training

    [fusebox_track_player url=”https://op3.dev/e/traffic.libsyn.com/dailystridespodcast/1333_Inspiring_You_To_Get_Intentional_In_Your_Riding_And_Training.mp3″ title=”Inspiring You to Become More Intentional in Your Riding and Training” social_linkedin=”true” social_pinterest=”true” social_email=”true” ]

    Are you happy with where you are right now in your riding journey? If you’ve been feeling a little stuck or ‘behind’ regarding progress for you and your horse, today is the day you can begin changing all of that; whether you make it to the yard right now, or not.

    The key to feeling better about yourself as an equestrian is to take action and actually do something. However, you might find that you’re at this point where the action is the issue! It simply doesn’t feel fun, exciting, or interesting anymore!

    One of the major reasons riders stop riding is due to their riding and interactions with their horse beginning to feel ‘same-old, same-old’. Becoming intentional in your riding is a surefire remedy for this :)

    This is Your Responsibility

    As riders, we can often forget that horse riding, just like everything else in life, has a ‘honeymoon phase’ to it. The initial few weeks or months where it doesn’t really matter what happens, it’s all good and you love it! And calling it a ‘phase’ is very intentional because this season of your riding journey will come to an end.  Sooner or later.

    Are you guilty of getting caught up in the initial ‘novelty’ of riding or having a horse, only to begin wondering what’s gone wrong now that the ‘newness’ is fading?

    No matter where you are as a rider, one of your top responsibilities is to keep the conversation and the work fresh for you and your horse. Looking for ways to weave intentional curiosity and challenges into each interaction. Finding methods and exercises that will keep you both learning and developing.

    Becoming intentional in your riding is the most effective way of keeping you and your horse interested in the work – and in each other. 

    When the Novelty Begins to Wear Off

    So, in order for you to become intentional in your riding, you first need something to work towards. A goal or a specific outcome of sorts. This ‘something’ needs to be both achievable and realistic for you and your horse when combined with your current resources and seasons of life.

    But having the goal alone is not going to be enough to keep you both curious and interested; the key is to create an interesting and ‘doable’ plan to achieve that goal… 

    What’s interesting about setting a goal is that if it doesn’t really inspire you, the plan won’t ever really come together. This may have happened to you in the past; the same goal keeps showing up without ever really being worked towards.

    Find something that inspires curiosity in you. That is a key element to fleshing out your plan. The plan will come together when you can see a clear pathway leading you to become more intentional in your riding — step by step and ride by ride.

    You Don’t Need Your Horse To Get Started

    So, if you have been feeling a little ‘meh’ about riding and interacting with your horse, today is the perfect day to begin putting this into practice. There are so many ways you can begin looking for inspiration. Magazines, local equestrian expos, horse shows, podcasts, visit a tack shop, Pinterest, etc. Simply set aside some time today so that you can begin ‘perusing’ something equestrian-related and see what aligns with you.

    Planning doesn’t require your horse to be present. However, it does require you to advocate on behalf of your horse as though he was. Choose a goal & create a plan that will inspire you both. 

    And if it takes two weeks to get to the point where you’re actually working with your horse, so be it. The key here is to begin taking action today that will help you create some positive momentum for you both.

    Becoming More Intentional in Your Riding

    If you would like a little more hand-holding and some actual fun ideas to work on with your horse, Daily Strides Premium has all of that and more. Simply listening or watching the recording of one of our monthly live planning calls will help you to continue to make progress and move forward.

    If you have been feeling guilty about either not riding enough or not feeling as grateful and excited as you think you should about your riding, you can change that starting today. Find something that inspires to you. And then begin crafting a doable plan for you and your horse to help you work on this, intentionally, every single interaction together.

  • Getting Through Tough Times in Your Riding…

    Getting Through Tough Times in Your Riding…

    Deciding to work towards something specific in your riding is a good thing. And, usually, you will feel positive about that decision, and all the work involved to get there, initially. Until you realize you must ‘do’ the work – and the novelty starts to wear off a little!

    Riding, just like most things, will involve effort. Especially when you are working to improve or reach a specific goal or outcome. And that ‘effort’ can often result in you quitting! 

    It’s normal to experience all of the excitement at the beginning of something. A new hobby, project, or goal.  And it’s also ‘normal’ to notice that as you get further down the road, it can feel hard.  This is to be expected and even planned for with your goals.

    What’s less ‘normal’ is to find the stamina to push on through that resistance you feel and cross the finish line. To see the goal or project to completion. That takes perseverance! 

    Creating Perseverance in Your Riding

    I think that being honest from the start with yourself is important. And part of that honesty will be to realize in advance that things will probably get a little harder before they get easier. Hard things at the beginning are usually overcome pretty easily. There is this optimistic momentum on your side that helps you overcome whatever obstacles are in your way.

    However, in the middle of the journey, when you’re feeling tired even a little bored from the monotony of doing the thing day in and day out, you need to build perseverance. 

    You can do this by honouring commitments to yourself. If you tell yourself you’re going to do it, honour that. Do what you say you’re going to do.  Each time you do this for yourself, you strengthen your discipline muscle. And this builds trust in yourself and your word. It sounds strange, but the more you can trust yourself, the better the chances you have of doing the thing you said you would do.

    When Enthusiasm Wanes…

    There are a couple of things you can begin to do to help get you through this period of the journey. From personal experience, I have had great success in implementing the following few ideas in my own life:-
          1. Don’t think; just do!
          2. Have a list of topics or things to do that inspire you
          3. Find ways to become curious again
          4. Plan what you want to do the day or week before
          5. Track the progress
    By having a few different options and creating a plan for you and your horse, you will find that on those days, you actually can ‘push on through’.  And once you do this a few times, you will build that trust in yourself, and your positive momentum will build from there.

    Tough Times in Your Riding

    There will be times in your riding when you just don’t feel like doing the thing. Where the past few rides have felt hard.  The key to overcoming this is to show up.  To commit, create a few ‘contingency plans’ and then just make it happen.
    Tough times in your riding will happen. It’s how you train yourself to respond to these times that will determine how you will show up as a rider and an equestrian. 
    If you would like a little ‘inspiration’ to get you over the ‘tough times’, make sure you’ve signed up for the 100% FREE 2024 Equestrian Fitness Challenge. I’ll accompany you for a walk each day for 21 days to inspire you to keep going and overcome the challenges in your riding.
