Instead of asking “What am I doing wrong with my position or movement?”, try asking, “Is my body prepared for the demands I’m placing on it?” Sometimes we need to zoom out, away from nitpicking the mechanics and towards overall capacity.

Imagine hearing these two messages about your body.

“Your body is adaptable and resilient. It gets stronger based on what you ask of it”

OR
“Lifting like that will damage your back if you keep it up.”

Even knowing nothing about physiology or training, which message would you prefer to believe?

Clear, consistent aids start with body awareness. When you know where your joints are and how to move them independently, your signals become more precise and easier for your horse to understand. Off-horse training builds that clarity and control.🏋️
