I answer students’ questions! This episode is about biomechanics and motivation!
I’ll be discussing a question about whether short strides are from a blocked back and how to help remedy that, as well as a question about how to help a horse with a downhill conformation become more balanced.
Next I’ll answer questions about how to really motivate your horse to do things for you with enthusiasm and pride… instead of just because you are making him, and how to use treats without your horse mugging you.
