I love this thought from Clinician, Chris Sorensen at the recent EC Convention (Can. Equestrian Team) “One of the most amazing things that you learn as you train with top people around the world is that almost all of them practice basics every day. We all think that these famous riders are going to teach us magical tricks that are eluding us, but the fact of the matter is that riding is a very difficult sport, but it’s not that complicated.”

Agreed! I think of riding as less like magic and more like a fascinating  science.                                                               

If “equestrian science” can be distilled to a theory, I’m going to give it a try!

Love of learning + HOW to apply physical aids + understanding WHY the aids work + applying those skills skillfully and automatically = happy horse.

 Tested in the lab of the show ring before experimenting in the show ring!
