Spice Things Up: Any horse can benefit from a change-up. Take a reining horse on a trail ride, jump your dressage horse, ride your trail horse around some cattle. New experiences engage a horse's mind and build confidence. If you focus too much on a single thing day after day, your horse may learn to resent it. Your horse can get sour from too much ground work. The horse is meant to be ridden and is a very purposeful animal. Your horse wants a job and purpose.

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us who as adults are going back to learn. Many of us have never had formal lessons, and learning about a balanced seat, and leg cues was all new, especially when you just learned by riding around out in the country as a child.
