Have a Laugh with Funny Images To Help You with Equitation and Horse Training.

Here’s a fun training tip to improve your horse training and equitation. I call it RIDES WITH FRUIT.

I’m sure you remember Kevin Costner’s movie, Dances with Wolves. Well, I call this horse training tip, Rides with Fruit. I thought it was appropriate since it’s summer in some parts of the world, and many of us start to eat more fruits and vegetables.

So let’s bring some fruity images to your horse training and equitation! When you’re on a circle, your horse’s body should curve like a banana. Feel the weight of a grapefruit in your outside hand and the weight of an orange in your inside hand. Sit deep and relax your gluts by saying, “My butt is a marshmallow.” (Oh? You mean marshmallows aren’t a fruit?)
