How to improve your riding when you cant ride for extended periods (due to circumstances beyond your control).
In this episode, I discuss how to take advantage of extended breaks from riding (due to weather, injury or other annoying factors). It can be frustrating to have a forced break from riding. But there are fun ways you can use this time to actually improve your riding -- even with very little time in the saddle. If you can take a playful and fresh perspective, the exercises I share will be of great benefit (plus will make you laugh). I speak from much experience \u2014 over the last seven years, I\u2019ve had multiple involuntary breaks from riding (from reasons such as natural disasters, athletic injury and family member illness). Each time, I emerged with greater insight and improved horsemanship skills \u2014 precisely because I couldn\u2019t ride in my usual routine (and in my old patterns).
