DISTRACTIONS!!

 
Here is a problem a lot of riders have: DISTRACTIONS!!. Mabey you saw a little kitten scurry across the road or a car flew by or maybe you can't stop thinking about a big important test coming up. These small little things will cause you to get DISTRACTED!! You could make a wrong turn when jumping or dressage and injure you or the horse. You need to stop, take a deep breathe, and count to five. This should help clear your mind. Sometimes, I just count to the rhythm of the horses steps. Remember to always stay focused, keep your eyes in front of you, and stay calm. Your horse will sense if you are distracted so don't get DISTRACTED!! Your horse will also go in the direction your head has turned so stay on the trail! Follow these easy steps and you will be able to ride safely! Enjoy riding!
 

A Few Things To Remember When Riding.

  Hello reader. Today we are going to go over a few simple things to remember when riding. First, HEELS DOWN. I honestly have a problem with doing so, but I am still learning. This is important because it keeps you safe in your seat. (Don't SHOVE your heels down though)  I know that a lot of people have problems with diagonals when they first start riding and I am always getting mine confused. If you have not started diagonals that is fine, I will be covering that in a later post. One last thing to remember is to keep your eyes in front of you. If you don't, consequences will follow. ( I had to find that out the hard way) Just remember these three little details and you are on a great start to being a professional rider. GOOD LUCK!
