Let's be honest; many riders don't really long for a 'better trot' in their riding. In fact, most are quite happy to simply work with what they already have right now and see the trot as a filler. A part of the ride that gets you from one thing to the next. And trotting, by its very nature, doesn't really help change this! The rhythm can often have a slightly hypnotic effect on riders. Lulling them into a contented 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2, regardless of how good the trot is – or isn't. In this episode, I want to begin helping you to turn your mind towards a better trot. What would it look like for you and your horse? And how would it feel for you and your horse? Finally, how prepared are you to actually allow this better trot to happen underneath you? Will you be able to move with it? Or will you begin to block it with your seat? • Read More... • Join Connection & work on improving your trot this month • Sign up for the Fit for Riding; Fit for Life Plan • Connect in the Mindset & Fitness for Equestrians Private Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/SFS30DayRiderFitnessChallenge • Connect in the Virtual Stable Lounge Private Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1499737810323191
