It happens to everyone at some point in their riding career. Either we hit a plateau or we simply run out of ideas to take with us to the ring.
We know it when we're there - we want to add some "lesson" time into our rides, but don't know what to do. So we float along round and round on the rail, putting miles on our horse's legs but making little progress.
The horse knows it too.
I've been there myself many times. And my students have, as well. Over the years, I've created patterns designed to work on specific skills for both the horse or rider.
Horse Listening Book 4: 20-Minute Exercises To Add Variety To Your Riding Routine is a compilation of the best patterns that have been shared on the Horse Listening Blog. The book is divided into five sections: Warm-Ups, Left and Right, Straightness, Suppleness and Collection. Each section has specific exercises and theory based on its topic.
But there's more!
There is a Special Center Section dedicated to only Transitions - something that we can all work on throughout our riding careers. And finally, scattered throughout the book are chapters that clearly explain theory, technique and skills that can help improve the featured exercises of teach Section.
This book will give you practical, take-to-the-barn-ready exercises and patterns, plus all the in-between knowledge you need that will help you improve specific skills - all for the sake of your horse!
