Do you know the dreadful feeling when you make a mistake, lose your balance, get startled, and your horse’s mouth pays the price?

Or the frustration of wanting to have steady contact to help your horse stay on the aids, and advance your riding, but you just can’t seem to keep your hands still?

The solution for better contact, and quieter hands is not trying to hold your hands still. Unfortunately, when you ride, your body is still moving, so the more you try to “make” your hands be still, the more likely they are to bounce around. 

Instead, good contact comes from all over good riding and body connection. 

The key is often to release tension from your arms and hands so they can move more freely – following the horse and creating that neutral following hand. 

In this video, I will give you three exercises to do just this, so you can have quieter hands and better contact!

  1. I just listened to your take the reins!
    Wow you both still rode after horrible incidents!
    But I know how there was never a thought to not ride.
    My story is little in comparison. I was riding my horse Draka my friend Patty was ahead on my brother’s horse Flash.
    Somehow Draka hoof slipped on the sewer cover. She reared up! Me never having rode a rear pulled her back. We landed on a paved road. My riding hat fell off after the fall. I remember thinking she was down the street after she got up. I jumped up grabbed the reins made it to the side of the road. I thought what just happened. Pain came from every where. We bounced I never broke anything. Bruised yes!
    I think I was 13. That taught me how to ride a rear😊
