The Horse and Rider Awareness system teaches you how to be more balanced and effective in your position, how to control your emotions and reactions in the training process, and how to understand how the horse thinks and reacts in training situations.
This is Susan Faulkner Evans and Parker. They have been competing successfully in dressage at 3rd and 4th level with scores in the lower 70's at rated shows. We have improved the quality of Parker's walks and canters, and now... we are focused on getting the trot even better. Parker needs to track up and stay in balance. Watch what we do to help Susan feel Parker stepping up from behind as he carries himself in a better balance. This is part #1
As always, we do not edit what we show you. This way, you can see what happens to real horses and riders as they go through the training process.

.."Outside Rein and Leg. Can you hold it on a circle? Walk halt. #1 "
Is your horse on the outside rein and leg? We start the warm up with asking Trudy to keep Ani on a 20 meter circle. To see if she is using her outside leg and rein, Trudy has to let go on the inside rein! Not as easy as it sounds.
This series continues with Ani and Trudy's other horse Melody. You will see amazing changes happen with Trudy and her horse's in front of your eyes.

So many of us have old ribbons stashed away in boxes, in the attic or buried in the garage. They hold so many memories that it seems silly not to display them. If you are looking for a new project ...
This is always a tricky thing to pull off! You want your horse to be super spiffy for the show, but you know he wants to use some poop as a pillow. (Makes perfect sense.) Most of us like to do a deep cleaning shampoo and conditioner before we take off and wow the judges - so how do we manage the night before?

If you enjoy buying store-bought treats for your horses, you're probably already well aware of how expensive they can be. The cute, specialty cookies are usually double to quadruple the price of the giant 50lb bags of bulk treats.

This is Trudy Adam on Ani. I asked Trudy what she wanted to focus on, and she said that Ani tends to through her nose up in the air, and disconnect in the transitions. When this happens to riders, it is usually because the rider has disconnected in the transitions. This usually starts in the lower leg. It is easy to see as their heels are higher than their toes. Now you can follow Trudy as she focuses on staying anchored through her lower leg for her transitions in this series.
This is Susan Faulkner Evans and Beau working on the leg yield. Now that Beau if more comfortable moving sideways, we ask him to connect to the outside rein (stretching as he connects to Susan's legs) for the leg yields. As you will see, Beaus leg yields become much more connected as a result.

Connecting Your Riding Position to the Horse. The walk trot transitions ...How can a rider feel if they are connecting their aids to the horse? In this video series you will see how Trudy Adams connects with Ani at a deeper level by understanding how her riding position effects Ani.
The two minute hunter round, jumping course or dressage or western class did not happen overnight. It took minutes to perform it, but it took years to train it.

I can hear equestrian photographers groaning or cheering all across the land. The bad news: All those photos of riders in top hats will look dated.
The good news: All the riders will need new photos for their web sites and press kits showing them in regulation headgear.
And all across the land, photographers will need to become very proficient at capturing riders looking their best while wearing a helmet.
If you read the USEF rule carefully, it seems to imply that riders in entertainment categories who perform during breaks would have to wear helmets as well.
