  • Coaching Concepts
    Sep 23 2024

    In this episode, we dive into essential tips for knowing the horse you're riding and how to quickly adapt your plan once you leave the start box. We discuss the importance of riding the horse you have to every fence and why teaching your horse to love its job is the foundation of a strong, safe partnership. We also explore how educating your horse on 'concepts' improves their understanding and confidence, making training more productive and reducing the risk of counterproductive -if not dangerous -behaviour.

    Plus, Chels dishes out what I feel is one of the most useful course-walking tips to date!
