A talented horse can make a rider feel as though the hard part is already handled. The movement, look, and maneuvers are there.

I"m looking for someone who would like to move in with a horse, 1 or 2 that is open to a worktrade cleaning a few stalls mon-friday in mornings (not really early) it would off set your board fee to being very low. What we are looking for is someone reliable (not I'm gonna do it & the text "I can't today". lol
Someone who has mare or gelding (any breed) that is ok being in a stall & turnout but not 24/7 (we don't offer that here) , a good communicator (if I text you about stalls I would need to hear from you fairly quickly) we all can't live without our phones so most people have them on them all the time, IMO. We offer great care, really great people here, and a top notch facility (so we've been told) please reach out to 9376027625 to inquire about this work trade. Thank you.

Good posture is one of the easiest and most impactful things you can practice out of the saddle to improve your riding.

When you step into the arena, good posture conveys confidence. It should never look forced. Practicing it in everyday life helps it feel natural and effortless in the show pen, that allows you to concentrate on the connection with your horse and ex*****on of the pattern.
