I like the straight from the heart conversation.

Hi Joseph! I’m loving the rambling nature of your talks especially when you segue off to something and then circle back to the topic

Nice timing with this video Joe, just came off a bad ride on the weekend and this was such a nice refresher to come back at it with a compassionate perspective for the next one. Re. format, I think maybe take some jot notes? You're pretty darn good at following your own outline honestly, and I think if it went too much more structured it wouldn't seem as genuine, you're right. I think your last point is the one for me today - I tend to "suffer" through the trot warm up, and if I just went ahead to canter sooner it would make my ride SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE because for my horse canter is a lot easier to digest, and then we can go back to the trot later in the ride. I keep forgetting this, because we learn growing up that your warm up is walk, trot, canter, and so it can be really hard to break out of the habit (and also feels weird to not do a lot of trot in the beginning, like you're "breaking the rules"!).

You have to have bad rides so you know when you have a good one

Love the lose format, it comes naturally from you. Always great information and advice. Thanks. 1230 am. 🇬🇧

Conversational format is great. Good to have you back.

Love the format 😊

Thanks for your honest video's & advice ❤ I'm currently producing my first green 4 year old. We have some very good and some very challenging rides 😅

Good conversation and tips for moving forward. As an older rider though what astounds me is younger riders dependence on videos when all the difficulties in training horses have been discussed for 2000 years by the great masters in their books. I like watching videos too however for a real grounding you can't go past Xenophon, Newcastle, Gueriniere and the present day masters like Belasik and Podhajsky.

I love it, thank you!

These are great reminders.
