Slowing down in your riding can feel frustrating, especially when you're eager to move forward or feel like you "should" be doing more.

If you've ever felt like things in the saddle are either happening at 100km/h with you just hanging on, or your horse feels like the handbrake will not release no matter how you ask... This episode is for you!
Today, we're diving into the uncomfortable truth that keeps so many riders stuck: not being willing to slow down in order to go faster later. We're strippi...
Your Energy Begins the Conversation
From the moment your horse becomes aware of you, before any halter, tack, or aids, the conversation has already started. In this episode, we explore how your energy sets the tone for the entire interaction. Whether it's calm, chaotic, focused, or distracted, your energy speaks louder t...
You're in the arena. It's just you and your horse. No trainer. No instructor.

If your horse disappeared beneath you right now, would you land on your feet?
That's the Click-Your-Fingers Rule. ...
Have you ever felt your horse suddenly "drop out" from underneath you? It can feel like his back becomes a little shallow underneath you, his head and neck lift, energy is usually lost... And things become REALLY jarring and disconnected! If so, you've likely experienced your horse becoming hollow.
It's uncomfortable, frustrating, and honestly, it can feel like ...
"Make the plan… but stay supple in your approach."
In this short and sweet Sunday episode, Lorna shares a real-life moment from the past week where sticking to the plan just wasn't going to work. What started as a flatwork session in the arena quickly turned into a very different kind of ride; one that ended up being even m...
Few things feel as unsettling as when your horse suddenly whips around and bolts.
It can knock your confidence quickly, especially if it becomes a repeated habit.
This episode explores why it happens and practical ways to help your horse stay with you mentally and emotionally so you can both relax on your rides again.
If you've ever wondered why your half halt isn't working, you're not alone. The half halt is one of the most commonly referenced tools in riding, yet it's also one of the most misunderstood!

Some riders even ask if they can ...
