The Illusion of "Horse Training"

Riding Tips - Letting go of Physical Tension
A rider's physical tightness usually starts with clenched seat bones. This tension, creates rigidity that travels up the spine between their shoulder blades, into their neck and shoulders, down the upper and then forearm, ending with gripping in their fingers on the reins. From the seat down, there's often a shortened leg position, with an outward turned knee and toe, and a clamped hamstring and calf.

Questions for your Horse Learning Journey
What does Quality with the horse mean to you?
What do you consider as Success?
How
often do you connect how the horse's mind and emotions influence his
physical responses, versus fixating on containing/blocking/driving his
movement?
Where is your focus during the equine interactions?
Are you mentally present and available to acknowledge and address the horse's feedback? Without triggering his fear?
Do
you ever adapt your original goal whether temporarily, short or even
long-term, to prioritize first building trust, try, and willingness in
the horse?
