WHY I LOVE THIS SHORT CLIP 👇
• An ENGLISH rider stepping outside her comfort zone and riding western
• A WESTERN horse confidently working over raised poles
• A COOL rider wearing a helmet — because smart riders protect their brains
• ONE SIMPLE THEME tying it all together: changing the routine to create better balance, proprioception, strength and symmetry
Different disciplines. Same fundamentals.
Strong foundations matter no matter how you ride.
💬 “If we always do the same things, we’ll keep getting the same results. Positive change takes intention, effort and a willingness to try something new.”
✨ Pole work is one of my favourite tools because it challenges both horse and rider physically and mentally while building skills that transfer everywhere — in the arena and out of it.
👉 What is one thing you want to work on in 2026 for you and your horse?
