A mantra in our school is to stop on a positive note feeling like you could've done more. As type A achiever equestrians we tend to feel something amazing when riding and keep chasing that feeling. I want it again, I want it more, I want it better!! However, quite often what we are feeling is our horses best effort. If we don't stop and reward for effort and drill for perfect behaviours our horse will go sour at best and get frustrated and throw dangerous behaviours at worst.
In this episode we will talk about how to bring down a shaping plan so that we are rewarding for effort and setting our horse up for success, not only today but in the rides moving forwards.
