Join us and learn how to become (or develop your skills as) a Thinking Rider.
A thinking rider is someone who analyzes a situation in order to find out the reason why something isn't working or why the horse is making a certain mistake. Then she applies her theoretical knowledge, experience, and intuition together to come up with a solution that addresses the root cause of the problem.
The thinking rider:
- Embraces training problems with a curious attitude
- Knows what to look for and how to gather the most important information in order to make as accurate of an analysis as possible.
- Considers the influence of their seat, aids, and attitude on the horse, and is willing to adjust their own approach in order to help the horse better.
- Pauses when things aren’t working well to reflect and gather more information, rather than continuing to repeat what is not working.
- Seeks to communicate with the horse in a way that simplifies for the horse so they can better understand what we are trying to do
- Reflects on their rides afterwards to identify what went well, what didn’t go well, what needs to be modified or abandoned, and what can be continued and built upon.
- Chooses to view the horse as a teacher in the process, rather than an order-taker who must submit to the will of the rider.
- Understanding that learning to ride is often about much more than just learning to ride. They see there are deeper lessons that can be learned along the way.
