Schooling Exercises to Try With Your Horse

coaching competition confidence equitation mindset Aug 02, 2025

When we ride, the questions often continue after we've left the arena.

How can I help my horse understand?

What shall I do next time I ride?

How can I improve my position?

What exercise would help us most right now?

How do I keep schooling interesting?

Try This When You Ride was created with those questions in mind.

Practical ridden exercises give you something to take into the arena with your horse, with coaching to help you notice what happens and decide what to do next.

You might work on your position, explore an exercise in canter, develop your lateral work or think about how you prepare to ride a test.

Take what is useful into your schooling, notice how your horse responds and let that help shape what you do next.
