In this Strides Revisited episode, we’re returning to one of the most powerful mindset shifts in riding - the moment when you stop trying to control your horse's every move… and start asking with clarity instead.
This episode takes a fresh look at leg yielding; not just as a lateral movement, but as a powerful training tool to refine how you use your aids and communicate with your horse.
Whether you're rebuilding your confidence or looking to sharpen your lateral work, this is where the shift begins.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why pushing = resistance - and what to do instead
How to create “open doors” with your seat and reins to show your horse where to go
The importance of timing your aids with how your horse is actually moving
How feedback builds a conversation (and trust) between you and your horse
💡 The key takeaway? You’re not there to move your horse; you’re there to ask, allow, and respond.
