Hey Linds, lovely to hear from you!! Hope you're well 👋❤️

Hi thanks for your interest! It’s one of the home study courses in the CT Club, so it contains lots of videos about training riding positively. My approach is a mix of trainjng from the ground and then transferring it to the saddle, a working on your own seat and teaching ridden cues systematically. It’s all done with rewards (which I guess you know since you’re on my YT channel!), so the aim is to create a fun learning environment for you and your horse and to always prioritise your horse’s emotions - so, creating a calm, connected, motivated ridden horse. My goal is also to create horses who are sound and confident to do a bit of everything - so I include dressage exercises (more classical), polework, obstacle training, hacking and more in my groundwork and riding training. There are currently 2 finished riding courses in the CT Club - the Starting Your Horse Under Saddle course which takes young, green, or ‘problem’ horses through rebacking until they’re happy to line up at the block, connected with their rider and will walk, halt and turn. There’s an existing riding course which contains quite a few exercises like building engagement and balance and teaching lateral exercises and I’m currently working on building a brand new riding course which is entirely step by step through my training program. This is live and I’m adding to it constantly as I create new material. You get instant access to all of them (and everything else) when you join the CT Club and you can skip through to parts you need for your horse. And, if you have questions, you can join us at live Q&As, or ask in the forum and I’m currently doing regular live chats on riding with Angelica Hesselius (Reward based riding ) where we discuss specific topics (last night was all about the rider’s seat) and open up to questions. If you have more Q’s, email us at theteam@connectiontraining.com or you can find out more and sign up here connectiontraining.com/learn-ct-online-2/ Hope that helps and hope to see you there!

In that situation, I’d usually advise retraining the ridden cues from scratch so that she’s relaxed and willing with all of them. You can see more on how to do that in the Starting Your Horse Under Saddle Playlist kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZ6geNSolq-mpZs.html to give you some more ideas. You could also retrain with a bitless bridle as well which could be easier for her. She’s lucky to have you to make being ridden a better experience for her ❤️
