We always concentrate on looking after our horses, making sure they are feeling and looking their best but often neglect ourselves. I too have been guilty of this in the past!

The more effective you are as a rider, the more effective the connection and communication with your horse will be. Ultimately you will both perform better as a partnership.

What we do for our horses is physically demanding and it does mean that we do lead a fairly active lifestyle.

Are you feeling that you and your horse have reached a certain level but struggling to improve?

Have you thought that maybe it could be you that's holding you both back?

Don't forget we are athletes too and make up one half of the team... what would happen if we worked on ourselves as much as we do our horses?!
