Two fun exercises to improve your horsemanship, pandemic style.
"I often tell people that I truly want the horse to be my feet and legs. I want to be an extension of the horse and him to be an extension of me. That's what I'm always working toward when I'm on a horse.\u201d -Buck Brannaman
\nIf you\u2019re like me, you probably are getting a little tired of COVID-19. It often seems like everything is on hold (literally) because of it. But there are advantages to this coronavirus spring \u2014 and I\u2019d like to help you enjoy the benefits of every silver lining it brings. One of the best benefits of this time is that many of your usual patterns (with or without your horse) are interrupted. This gives a wonderful opportunity to see things from a new perspective! In this episode, I share two exercises that helped me improve my body awareness and riding posture. They are fun, easy and can be done at home without your horse (if you are in self-quarantine or shelter in place order). I also mention a terrific article about the concept of \u201cHangerman\u201d from the Eclectic Horseman. Here\u2019s a link to it: http://www.jackyoungclinics.com/gettingfeet.html
\nAt Horse Wise, I teach people tools -- so that they can learn how to coach themselves and their horses to progress together as a team. It\u2019s a fun process that shows you how build a good partnership with your horse (in a practical, straightforward way).
