Become consistent in your riding - starting today - with Daily Strides Premium
There are a number of things that, when we speak about working with our horses, can feel almost impossible for some riders. This is especially true if your horse is very 'laid-back' or 'lazy'. Other riders are working on channeling energy, etc. and you feel like if you could just ignite a little enthusiasm in your horse, it would be a win!
It's always worth remembering that all horses are different. And some will naturally be less enthusiastic than others. However, this does not have to mean that you must give up your hopes and dreams of ever having a willing partner. However, you may need to begin varying your approach or moving the goalposts a little when it comes to your expectations and desired outcomes.
Deciding how to proceed forward with a horse who does not seem to have as much enthusiasm or interest will require you to answer this question first:- Is my horse naturally laid back or is he simply ignoring me and being unresponsive?
Today, I want to help you begin to decide which of these two is true for your horse - especially if it feels like both of you are going nowhere slowly!
There is a whole month of training dedicated to this topic inside of Daily Strides Premium to help riders who are struggling with a horse who is not as 'forward' as they would like. If you would like more help in your riding, this may help you.
And with 2 monthly live calls (all are recorded) also available on a private podcast feed your training lives on, you can listen at the stables and in the saddle.
Wherever you are in your riding journey, there’s no need to continue to struggle.Daily Strides Premium is created for riders working alone without a trainer or coach – and is simple to access & set up.
