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! 🫶
Inspired by this week's Office Hours with Josh, today I worked on Body Mapping my horse's shoulders and hips before my ride. Afterwards – I had THE BEST RIDE EVER 🤩. I also focused on moving my horse's shoulders and hips under-saddle, relating to another Office Hours question. For the past few months, my horse has been struggling to pick up his right lead canter, and this time he got it effortlessly, on the first try. 💥

I feel like there are so many mares this year! 🤩Or maybe the mares are just really standing out.
Karma is a great example!
I have a gelding currently, but now I’m thinking I may need a mare as my next.
Do you ride a gelding or mare?
