There are horses that may have physical limitations and find flexion painful. It is important and a responsibility of the rider to understand and recognize your horse’s pain. You can train your horse to go in a natural state with acceptance of your aids, track control, and great success in the show ring without flexion if you find it best suits your horse. Watch my lesson, “Riding on the Bit”—linked here https://equestriancoach.com/courses/riding-bit/ Now booking clinic dates for 2026! For more

My signature system for winning turns involves 6 key elements: eyes, smooth turn, parallel line, shape and bend, rhythm, and accuracy. This system begins with the principle of riding a parallel line that approximates 3 strides from the jump. As you ride the parallel line, you will be presented with 3 types of approaches to the fence: early approach, normal approach, and the waiting approach. The key elements stated above will play a huge role in the approach you choose when turning. Learn my sig

Time and time again, I come across riders in my clinics that are having trouble with their distances because they are taught to look up or ahead too early, having a wide-angle view and simply losing focus on the actual object they are trying to find a distance to—the fence. It seems these riders have been taught to “look at the trees,” in theory, because looking down promotes slouching. But, quite frankly, if you teach proper position, looking at the top rail does not encourage slouching. After

Unnecessary drama. These over exaggerated gestures on the part of the rider don’t necessarily enhance the horse’s jump or way of going and, in fact, may cause the judge to be distracted instead. For example, the position of the rider over the fence and after landing: Peter Pletcher explains how the fad of dramatically laying up on the horse’s neck and staying over after landing from the fence is actually disrupting the picture and horse’s jump. Join Peter as he examines a few of the current fads
