The Essence of Joyful Riding

Written by

,

There’s an old saying that there’s always more than one way to bake a cake – but what isn’t said is that the taste it leaves afterwards does depend on whether you’ve included all the right ingredients! 

Our Happy Riding Horse Formula™ explains what you need to make all the progress you dream of, avoid misunderstandings or distress and create a more connected, more joyful, more fulfilling riding experience for both you and your horse.

The recipe itself is pretty simple and it works just as well inside a school or arena as it does out hacking or on the trails.  

If riding your horse is leaving you less than 100% satisfied, it’s probably the one thing you don’t have in your mixing bowl right now that’s causing most of the trouble…

    I want to enjoy riding my horse more than I do now.

    🙏🏻for that, it can never be said often enough. But it takes time to get to know your horse and for the poor horse to fathom us strange beings. Once you understand, all 3 pillars fall into place. But the last one you have to know, it hurts does not “ come”, your expert knowledge is needed. 🤓💕

    Thanks Jo , it’s a great video. Every thing is so interlinked. I certainly wish I knew all this and what you teach in my younger days. Every horse I see improves under your and Derek’s guidance and resume. Being able to post videos for feedback has been absolutely magic and solved every problem. 😁

    Hi Jo
    Loved your video and so much resonated with me. That is my goal each day with both LuLu and Oscar to have fun, make my interactions with them enjoyable for both.
    Your video was engaging and made me si up and listen

    Hi Joy as I have said in my previous communication, I loved your light hearted approach on this video. Now I have watched it again, I am wondering if I am not hearing what LuLu is trying to tell me. I am thinking I need to work on our two way conversation !!

      It’s always worth having a more careful listen! I hope you can figure out what she’s saying.
