What’s your win this month? 🎉
I had a little victory today that felt like a big breakthrough. After watching all of Josh’s Review My Rides, I finally put the pieces together about why my horse was slightly rushing through the trot on a figure-8.
It clicked—he wasn't balanced. The moment he anticipated needing to shift weight onto his right shoulder, he’d try to rush through it. From the ground, I’m sure the pace change would’ve looked almost invisible, but in the saddle, I could feel the tension.
Thanks to Josh, I could actually see the why behind it, and that felt so empowering. Those tiny moments where you can meet tension head-on and make a shift? They’re everything.
Would love to hear your wins this month—big or small! 🫶

Hi Susan,Thank you so much for your feedback—I'm really sorry to hear that the series didn’t meet your expectations. We always want our content to feel both valuable and engaging, so I appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
If you're looking for more in-depth, lecture-style material, I think you might really enjoy Dr. Bess Darrow’s video in our Bitting & Your Horse’s Mouth series (attached below). She does a great job breaking down the differences between snaffle and leverage bits, and I personally walked away with a new perspective (and a strong urge to go inspect my tack!).
While most of our other bitting content is more hands-on or conversational rather than traditional lecture format, we’ve gathered a full collection here in case you'd like to explore more: https://noellefloydplus.com/categories/bitting
Let me know if you’re looking for something in particular—we’d love to help point you in the right direction.
Warmly, Stephanie
