In this episode, Stacy explores the critical distinction between specific riding aids and your overall body intention. Riders often experience a disconnect between the small cues they apply (leg pressure, rein contact) and the broader message their body position and energy convey to the horse.
Key takeaways:
– The rider’s body communicates more than just cues—it reflects intention, emotion, and unconscious signals
– Clarity arises when physical aids align with internal intention and focus
– Emotional states influence the horse, whether or not the rider is aware of them
– Building awareness of your own body language is essential for clear communication
– Questions are a natural part of the learning process for both horse and rider
This episode demonstrates how critical it is to align physical cues with internal clarity. It’s especially valuable for riders who want to improve communication with their horse through better body awareness—not just better technique.
