“So you make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy. You just fix it up, and let him find it.” -Ray Hunt Like many riders, I’m prone to trying extra hard to get something right. If at first I don’t succeed, I try, try again. But sometimes it’s much better to not TRY so hard. Instead, slow down and take a step back — so you can see the situation from a different perspective. Trying hard usually means you’re already expecting to fail. You can put effort into things, you can put in steady, good work — but trying too hard often closes your mind and gets you fixated on a particular approach. Instead of trying to make something happen, instead experiment with setting up a situation so that you and the horse can learn together.

It’s a fun process that shows you how build a good partnership with your horse (in a practical, straightforward way). If you’d like more information
