My feet have ALWAYS gone numb when I horse ride.  For as long as I remember trail rides with my mother meant numb feet. It wasn’t until I damaged my spine, up near my waist, that I got the same feeling, numb feet, all the time (I’m “fixed now!) and realised it comes from your […]

Great game for easing into canter – and for light and soft transitions We do this in an arena.  60 x 20m.  You can do it in other sizes, but the size of this is perfect.   So try to mark that kind of area out, as best you can if you don’t have an […]

Funny story from WEG… Did you hear about our story at the WEG (Festival) last year.  The two Lexington Mounted Unit Police Officers donated their time to ride in my demos.

This is an INCREDIBLE story of bravery, but moreover that a horse trust a rider so much that they will respond and charge full force into a fully grown Grizzly Bear! Saved a little boy’s life by amazing quick action of the rider.  Great looking horse…she ended up buying the horse! Amazing story….have a look:

UPDATE: 2011 Full Circle Moment As I write this I am sitting on the beach in BEAUTIFUL Rosarita Beach, Mexico. Yesterday was a ‘full circle moment’ for me.

from Jason Shore This is the coolest “quick trick” you can do sitting at your desk to develop independent seat and co-ordination.

Wearing helmets is not the way of the future.  It is for TODAY. With 800* brain injuries from horse riding every year (*Flinders University) in a population the same as the state of Massachusettes, one wonders why ANY expo, show or venue allows non-helmet riders on their property.  And, certainly, why the insurance premiums I […]

My own personal story By age 18 I had lower back pain.  So bad I went to the doctor who did my first (of two) lumbar punctures (delicious fun!).  Found nothing.  Sent home with loads of drugs and a pat on the head (which would have been nice except for my constant, horrendous, headache!). The […]

On the  ’forehand’ or the ‘haunches’? When you see photos or videos are you looking down?

Why looking […]
