Last night in the live I talked about riding an older horse, considerations to make for an older horse, and the wonderful partnerships people have with their older horses. Including lots of great questions from participants.

I also shared some updates from my trip to Europe last week. It was such a great trip, we fit so much into only 5 days and got to see some really great horses.

PS. Don't forget to RSVP for my Groundwork Webinar this Sunday Feb 2nd.

Last night Nicole had a great session with you guys all about half halts. We had so many questions sent in about half halts and as a licenced judge and a coach, Nicole has such a great way of explaining the half halt and answering all those questions!

Check out my half-halts workshop here!

Last night Germán and I talked about hot, tense horses and horses that jig, so they get anxious and can't quite settle. It can be so offputting when this happens at a show, we discussed some student experiences and how you might handle a situation like this.

We also talked about how your rider position can contribute too, so if you're holding your breath or tense, your horse is going to feel that.

In last night's session Germán, Nicole and I talked about our tips for planning your ride, and how to plan your rides depending on your horse. So your plan is going to be different depending on the type of your horse, a hot horse and a lazy horse are going to need different types of plans!
