I love this thought from Clinician, Chris
Sorensen at the recent EC Convention (Can. Equestrian Team) “One of the most amazing things that you
learn as you train with top people around the world is that almost all of them
practice basics every day. We all think that these famous riders are going to
teach us magical tricks that are eluding us, but the fact of the matter is that
riding is a very difficult sport, but it’s not that complicated.”
Agreed! I think of riding as less like
magic and more like a fascinating science.
If “equestrian science” can be distilled to a theory, I’m going to give it a try!

Love of learning + HOW to apply physical
aids + understanding WHY the aids work + applying those skills skillfully and
automatically = happy horse.
Tested in the lab of the show ring before
experimenting in the show ring!
