I thought it would be fun to share what could be described as Stupid Lightbulb Moments, ie those instances where you have a bit of an epiphany, only to realise it is the most bleedin’ obvious thing in the world...
Here is mine.
Pro
Horse seems to go so much better in a dressage test than in normal day to day schooling.
Reason:
Tests are structured and this helps focus his attention. Plus I probably subconsciously work harder at my riding and being consistent.
Therefore:
I need to plan my schooling sessions in a more structured way instead of just winging it (especially now we can’t have regular lessons).
It seems so simple when I look at it like that!!!
Looks like the hour between finishing working and going to the yard is going to be spent planning ?
