Are you ready to take a critical look at your partnership with your horse?  The first, and most important, step in becoming a better communicator is to be willing to take a long, hard look at what you do, how you do it, and how effective it is.  Every time you sit on your horse’s back, you hold the power to improve your communication.  Competitively riding horses requires a delicate balance between accepting the best you can do IN THIS MOMENT and striving to become better.  Communication takes a lot of work and a rider must always be evolving to try different methods and learn new things.  Don’t accept mediocrity – if you’re not getting the response you want, change it up!
