Many times, riders feel frustrated and behind schedule with their horse. It can be tempting to rush and try to catch up as fast as possible. But ironically this approach will have the opposite effect \u2014 and will create more setbacks. In this episode, I discuss why the hurry and catch up mentality works against both you and your horse. I also examine the classically negative (if unintentional) motivation behind this mindset\u2014 and how to ask yourself a key question to avoid this pitfall. The bottom line is that it isn\u2019t about getting more things done with your horse (as fast as possible). Instead, it\u2019s about how to get the right things done with your horse. The little things that help him become balanced, straight and supple \u2014and that mean the most to the horse. Those are the things that we never \u201ccatch up\u201d on \u2014 but instead are the focus of each ride, slowly and steadily building a consistency and compound effect over time.
