This & then allow movement/ elasticity through your elbows & the line to the bit 💫🙌

I learned something amazing this week!!

My apologies now because I can’t remember who posted this nugget of wisdom 🙈 I blindly scroll through FB way too much on a daily basis 🫣 and don’t take in most of what I read or who posted it 😂

But this one must have stuck - other than the author. If it was you, let me know, happily tag you for credit because it has quite frankly been life changing 😂

The shoulders…

I’ve always been guilty of tilting forward a little more than I would like in the saddle. The result is that over time everything starts to get a bit “heavy” in front and it’s harder to keep the weight sitting back. Then I read this post.

In short it was about taking the contact through your shoulders rather than your hands - by basically doing a shoulder roll and pulling your shoulders up, back and down. Then your hands and forearms become more “free” and supple.

Seems simple right?! Oh my god 😂 my body is aching from riding like that this week 😂 it engages your core HUGELY and the difference in the horses way of going was just mindblowingly obvious immediately.

Try it!! That small change of balance is incredibly powerful!! (Photo before the shoulder roll!!)

Mrs Doyle Makeover 💞 when it’s too late to clip again but you have cat hairs everywhere… amazing what a light trim with a skip tooth blade can do 💫
