Be the person your mare expects you to be this week! Ride like your horse is the only judge. And remember why you ride horses.
( Hint: Its not for the profit margins and awards, ha!)
🏇This is the face of a mare who is totally ready to judge if she isn't presented with sugar or mints, a walk on the trail, and a low-key soft human. So no worries here about anxiety over what other people think. This one keeps her people present and motivated.

Monday motivation. Chair yoga for your feels! It sounds too easy, or maybe it doesn't sound productive to some of us? But try it and see! It is the most wonderful way to bring goodness to your day. Chair yoga for the win every day!

We had so much fun creating this 20 minute seated yoga practice in San Clemente, California. Right on the oceans edge the sound of the waves and instruction...

Riding with straightness, always the goal but not always easy! Thank you to Linda Landers for helping us onto the straight and narrow. Your time and depth of knowledge are so appreciated, but your patience is priceless!

December Clarity of the Aids Workshop at Landers meant lots of KCDS memberships renewed and focused hands-on-connection work. It is always a great day to spend time with fellow dressage enthusiasts.

Never underestimate the power of a little relaxing time with good friends, sunshine, and our equines. We do this because we love it! (A little uphill, downhill, and wonky-slanty footing never hurt the old seat stabilizers either!)

This fall season has included 37 new-to-me rider and horse pairs. So much fun meeting and coaching each partnership to a more centered place, finding greater stability and more clarity in their aids and tools. I have had only one horse unable to complete the group activities, and for very good green-horse reasons. I am so impressed with how all of these riders have been able to tactfully and harmoniously layer on different positions and tools.Grateful always for the horses and their generosity.

Our groundwork sessions can be in a warm room or arena. Chairs, reins, lunge lines, plus small and large drum horses can all be integrated as tools depending on our time and space.
