I recently had a contest awarding FREE complementary coaching sessions for those who commented on my Clever Riding posts. I have decided to continue to give one FREE lesson out per week to those I feel are participating the most on this page. So... if you want to be one of those lucky winners... here is your first task: I have been making a lot of posts about positive reinforcement (as a follow up from the recent clinic), but it is IMPERATIVE to remember to stay tuned into your horses physical body as well. Even more importantly, as a rider, you MUST continually try to improve your own knowledge in the area of equine anatomy. So, I am putting you on the spot! In a recent Clever Riding Tip of the Day I mentioned the importance of greeting your horses topline. If you havent done so already, read that posting and give it a try. Along with checking for soreness/tightness in the muscles, feel along the spine itself. It should feel like a pearl necklace - with even spaces between each vertebral process. Look for areas that seem jammed together or uneven in any way. Get out there and try it... dont just read this! Here is a video to get you started on the concept. Write ALL of your noticings below and lets discuss them. And remember - I will be awarding 1 free lesson per week to students who I feel are participating the most on my Clever Riding Facebook page - so there is a little extra incentive. https://youtube/watch?v=GjSlVp-WRDg
