I personally really like this module and I hope you will too. I think it will really help you get to the next level. I cover two things here. First I explain a bit better what I did in the summer with the 3 Lines exercise. I found out that some people don’t quite feel...
Join me on my first ride with my new toy, the Pivo. I am exploring in this module the idea of visualizing not in terms of what I would like to manifest in my life or possibly even in my ride, but just very simply to be really clear on what I am intending to...
Join me this month to look at approaches for the mounted leg yield. Please only do this ridden exercise if you have done Ruperts EOM October on unmounted approaches to the legyield as well as all the other prep exercises for the leg yield. That means, you have started the leg yield in hand, assisted...
Join me this months to talk about some ideas on straightness. Straightness is a big subject and I will cover more in additional tutorials. This month I wanted to give you a few ideas on how to look for straightness. We have moved to a new location and have this extremely pretty and straight-lined arena...
It’s stubblefield season, again! In this Vlog I’m talking about letting go of control. I think horses possibly attracts a certain type of personality, that likes to be in charge and that likes to tell a 500kg+ animal that doesn’t speak the same language as us and is a prey animal that makes us taller, …
It’s already August 2023! This month I want to explore a really dear subject for me! Lightness and the leg aid. I will create more exercises around the leg, but this month we don’t want to put too much emphasis about what the leg aids are but rather just put mindfulness and awareness into our...
We often talk about lightness, but what is implied is that we want lightness in our hand. I think to look for lightness in our hand set us up for failure. Because we can’t create lightness in our hands! The lightness we feel in our hands is a result of our other aids working properly …
We are more or less approaching the height of the summer. (at least for us in the northern hemisphere!) With summer comes for all of us hopefully the possibility to ride out and be on longer, warmer days for more extended periods of time with our ponies. This month Ridden Exercise of the Month is...
This month I have chosen a subject that is often not talked about. And yet it is so important. Worse often we are told we are not to use this very helpful and obvious to us “aid” and it definitely is not showing up in the official lists of “aids”. What I’m talking about is...
Exercise of the Month Ridden This month we are going back to something really basic! The rider’s seat. While we sit up there we will influence the horse. Positively or negatively. So it behooves us to try and have the best seat we can. One very effective tool for this is letting yourself be lunged...
Let’s face it riding in the arena is actually most of the time – let’s not say boring – but more boring than riding out! So this months with winter almost behind us (so we hope!) we are heading on the trail and are looking at how the trails can help us work on dressage...
In this episode, follow me through the woods while I take you through a system that we feel works well for getting riders from 0 to hero. Or at least well on their way to that. It’s simple and really makes sense when you think about it. It is step by step to help the …
Vlog Ep 3: So what would be a good system to learn to ride? Read More »
This month’s ridden exercise builds on last month’s exercise. Then we worked with a set of different sized circles, to improve rhythm, suppleness and connection through the help of transitions, be it from walk to halt, walk trot etc. or change of size of the circle itself. This month we are introducing the Snowman. Here...
