The Importance of Breath- Improving Horseback Riding Skills by Alternative Horsemanship

The Importance of Breath

Many times when I'm teaching a student, if a tense moment arises, I will instruct them to pat their horse.
This is not for the sake of being "touchy-feely," rather for the release that happens within the rider when they touch their horse.
Without realizing it, they will exhale the breath they'd been unintentionally holding.

Tips for Improving Horse Rider Balance by Alternative Horsemanship

Tips for Improving Rider Balance

So much of our horsemanship can be improved in the time spent bringing awareness to our behaviors and thoughts before we ever involve the horse.
The reality is most people don't have the option of enough time in the saddle. We are often disconnected from our thoughts, and we have very little body awareness.
Many of western society's daily routines involve our physical balance being brought forward and a bit "collapsed"- such as sitting at a desk, working at a computer, and often when driving a vehicle.

California Horsemanship Clinic Learning Opportunities with Alternative Horsemanship

Horsemanship Clinic Learning Opportunities

Winding down another great clinic at Oakzanita Ranch in CA... With weather threatening to wreak havoc some days, through participant adaptability, I integrated remote and video sessions into the In-person Learning Opportunities...
Enthusiastic participants, thinking horses, a variety of scenarios, with a wide range of horses from OTTB to colts to rescues to re-education to refinement...
We don't stay in one place, practice one thing, or do anything you might "normally" see at a clinic... Adaptability, creativity, and stimulating learning environments (for both the horse and rider) to increase the human's understanding, awareness, clarity, communication, and confidence in how to best help and support their horse.
