Welcome!! :) Hey guys!! Welcome to the very first issue of the Your Riding Success Monthly!! Tash came to me last week with this fabulous idea - we should do a Your Riding Success magazine! Sounded like a fabulous idea! Only problem was... she wanted it out for March... which was not even a week away! Hmmm... perhaps we need to plan things a little better Tash! But... it was actually a lot of fun! Putting the ideas onto paper, it all came together really quickly, and the more we thought about it, the bigger the magazine got! So... I hope you enjoy this issue - make sure you share it with anyone you think will benefit from it’s content by clicking on the envelope button (if you are in full screen mode you will need to hover your mouse over the pages before you will see the envelope).

YOUR RIDING SUCCESS TV QUESTION: DURING TROT-CANTER TRANSITIONS I FEEL AS IF I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE BOTTOM HALF OF MY BODY IS DOING - MY HORSE HOLLOWS OUT HER BODY AND LIFTS HER HEAD RATHER THAN STAYING ROUND. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG AND WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING? -- KERRY
ANSWER: What a fabulous question Kerry! Transitions are both easy and hard... because you can generally get the transition most of the time, but it’s about making the transition look effortless off a light aid that is the trick! If you are doing your trot-canter-trot transitions right, you really shouldn’t be seeing the rider doing anything - but the horse should be trotting, then cantering, then trotting again! The horses head shouldn’t move and neither should the rider if it is done
well... and you will get there if you keep practicing I promise! When you are trotting, your two seat bones should be going with the horse. When you ask for canter, your outside leg should be going slightly back, inside leg staying on the girth. It’s the actual moving of the leg back that should be the aid for canter, rather than leg on. The biggest aid that you are using to ask for canter is the inside seat bone - all of your weight is on this seat bone, and it is sort of

YOUR RIDING SUCCESS TV again. You want the horse responding to a light aid - don’t let the horse change the way you ride! You are the leader - so when you are in the canter and ask for the trot again, you start trotting before the horse does... The trick is to do heaps of them, so that you can keep perfecting your aids. What are your aids for asking for trot and canter? You have to be really clear, and teach the horse what you are asking for - the horse is not a mind reader!
‘scooping’ him into the canter, and telling him the aid for the canter. Do two strides of sitting trot asking for the aid before you go into the canter. You want to make sure that the leg on is not all of the aid - you don’t want the horse to think that leg on means go up a gait! There are lots of movements (especially higher up in dressage) that use leg on - and the only difference between them is what you do with your seat and your hands. The bony part of your inside seat bone drives into the horses back and asks for the canter. Remember - you have to teach the horse that this means canter!! So it’s not just you that has to learn what the aid is, it’s your horse too! :) Don’t lean forward! The horse must respond instantly! You don’t want a couple of strides of faster trot and then canter - you asked for canter, so that is what you want straight away! If the horse is not responding instantly, you give the horse a sharp kick, to make them do it, then bring them back to the trot and ask

FROM THE HORSES MOUTH ABE’S PERSPECTIVE Hey super riders! My name is Abe and I am Natasha’s superstar Friesian stallion and her one and only horse she likes to ride. I told her I thought it was very unfair that she was the only one to share how to ride - as lets’ face it... I’m the one that really makes it all happen - so this is my chance to teach you how to really ride a horse... with advice straight from the horses mouth!
This month I want to talk about trot-canter transitions. When I was broken in and first learnt how to carry a rider on my back, I learned that a kick meant “go forward”. When I was first learning canter, my rider would kick me and kick me and I trotted faster and faster until I finally cantered! Then the kicking would go away... So I learnt that legs mean go. Then, as my training progressed my rider taught me when she puts her inside leg on I was to canter - she did this by applying the aid, and then applying the whip until I learnt what she meant. I still remember the first time Tash came to ride me in Holland... I have to say - she wasn’t very good! ;) She kept telling me to canter with an outside leg and I thought she was an idiot. But I know how pretty I look cantering with my mane out so I did it anyway just for fun.
When I came out to Australia, I had to learn all of Tash’s aids. She had to learn them too, as like I said 7 years ago she wasn’t that good! She learnt how to do less and less which meant I had to do more and more. If you look at the video you can see I always need to have a concentrated face, my ears are flicked back listening and concentrating on her because she gets so cranky if I miss an aid! It can be confusing working out what she wants from me. Like she says - there are so many aids, and they all feel almost the same. Lucky I am so awesome and I can figure out most of the time what she wants. Sometimes I get lazy and try and get away with doing less, but she is getting better and better and figuring that out, and makes me work just as hard as she does. My advice for teaching your horse a super trot-canter transition is be really clear with your aids. One thing Tash is really good at is

FROM THE HORSES MOUTH | ABE’S PERSPECTIVE being consistent in the way she asks for something. She always asks EXACTLY the same way... Her way may be a little weird, but it is always the same. That’s the key. So when I feel her leg on a specific spot partnered with her seat a certain way, and her rein a certain way and... I know it sounds funny but the entire way about her just says canter now, and she has no doubt, no uncertainty, no fear around it she just demands it happens NOW - I just follow her lead and do it. A good leader is crucial and as much as I make sure she knows she is not in charge... she actually is and she leads me and helps me as much as she can, so I can perform what she is asking. So my tips for asking your horse for something (such as the trot-canter transition) are:
1.
Ask the same way
2.
Make sure your whole body says to canter NOW
3.
Help the horse understand what you want. You might need to do the aid the refined subtle way, but then back it up with a kick or a light tap with the whip so the horse wakes up and says - what do you want! He/She will then listen better and be ready for your lighter aids... you might even need to do it a few times ... not for me, because I learn perfectly... but for some other horses it takes them a bit longer. :)
Oh and MOST importantly! My FAVOURITE part of when Tash rides me is the end, she gets off, and as soon as my bridle is off I get a treat. Sometimes ... when I’m really good I get two treats!!!!!! :) I love that she acknowledges me and thanks me for trying so hard and concentrating! Grand Prix is really hard, so I really love that she appreciates my hard work! So don’t forget to give your horse a treat!!! :) Speaking of food I’m off to graze. Have a super month with your horses and keep smiling! :) To your happy riding success!

FROM THE EXPERTS | NATASHA ALTHOFF
GOALS It is very important to know how to properly outline your goals.
a dream can become - a dream. NOT a reality
It has been shown that people who do this have a far greater chance of achieving them as opposed to others that don’t. A college study asked graduate students who had written goals for their future and found that only 3% had. 20 years later the students were all questioned again and it was found the 3% with written goals had an income greater then the 97% of others that hadn’t. To me that’s great evidence goal setting is important for achieving what I want from life. And we all want to achieve in our life don’t we? For this first article we are going to look at the difference between a goal and a dream. The first thing we need to do is define what a goal is:
The major difference between a goal and a dream is THE COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION to its fulfillment. So many people set ‘goals’ every week, I’ll make it my ‘goal’. But they don’t! It’s only a dream! So many people go through life thinking 'I don’t get what I want'.
A goal is a specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time framed objective that you are COMMITTED AND DEDICATED to fulfilling. For example “I will win a Novice dressage test at the Nationals with over 70%” Whereas a dream is a wish that you would like to have come true. It can be anything; you dream for a house or a car or to become an astronaut or have a million dollars. So for example “I wish I could go to the Olympics” or “I wish I could ride like Anky van Grunsven” is something you would LIKE. Without a plan, without COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION to action, without detailed steps to achieve it, that’s all
Wishing and wanting to be skinny isn’t enough - to get what you want, you need to have a goal and a detailed plan on how you will achieve that goal. Keep going every day with COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION in seeing it through until you achieve it. Think about the last time you had a goal and you achieved it. Do you remember that feeling of being unstoppable, that nothing stood in your way?

That when something came up (because it will, I guarantee you life will throw you some curve balls to throw you off track!) you didn’t let it stop you because you were COMMITTED AND DEDICATED to your goal! Now think back to a time you had a goal and you didn’t achieve it. Why didn’t you? What was your level of commitment and dedication then? Did one tiny roadblock throw you off track? Did you allow the day to day of life distract you from what you wanted? If so, I’m curious to know why? Was it the goal wasn’t worth achieving? Was the goal not achievable or realistic enough in the time frame? Did the goal seem too hard to achieve? Sometimes people subscribe to that ridiculous excuse of ‘It’s too hard’, and we will look at that in a later article, but it can stem from people having a limiting belief that they can’t fulfill their goals. If that sounds like you, get coached on it because if that is a recurring pattern in your life, it comes up not just in your health but in relationships, career or any other part of your life. You need to address it and change it to ensure that nothing can hold you back from achieving your goals and start living the life you want!

We would like to say a HUGE congratulations to Ania, who is a member of the Dream Team January 2012 Intake - here is what she had to say about her riding journey last year: “Last year I joined the Dream Team in a bid person. To fully participate in the Dream to take me to new heights (literally) in my Team journey, I had to learn how the people horse riding journey. at the top of my game organise themselves. Not only that, I had to model For starters, I can honestly say that I have them - adopt their way of getting organised never felt so disorganised, and so towards success. organised at the same time. You see, you "organise" your own success. That's right. Planning success was only part of it though. Generally, I am a pretty organised sort of I had to re-define success - or perhaps, "define" success. Yes, that's right. What does success really mean? I had to define my goals. I had to strip myself of all my excuses - yes, all of them, even the ones that seem genuine - and really understand where I was going, and what it would take to get there. How much time it would take to get there? How much money? T h e D r e a m Te a m Program also forced us to face our fears. Isn't that a dark area where no one really wants to go?

Then the course gave us tools to deal with our fears. To help us do what we feared to do the most. It showed us how to break down our fear, and deal with it one step at a time.

NEED TO KNOW | NATASHA ALTHOFF
TRUST ME ON THE SUNSCREEN I don’t know if you will all remember a song in the late 90s known as “The Sunscreen Song”. It really touched me then and it still does now as I have a copy of the lyrics stuck up on my tack room wall. It started off as a column in the Chicago Tribune written by Mary Schmich. The article went on to become part of an email hoax claiming to be the 1997 commencement address of K u r t Vo n n e g u t t o M I T grads. Baz Luhrmann got hold of the email and eventually contacted Mary to turn it into a song. The rest as they say is history. Whether you know the song or not I think the lyrics have a great message …. and since summer has just come to an end, we all know the importance of sunscreen! The lyrics to Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen, by Mary Schmich:
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never m i n d . Yo u w i l l n o t understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble
Check out all the Success Stories and Feedback we have received this month at YRS HQ!! “I am currently in the second month of the Your Riding Success Riding Program and I am already seeing changes in my riding and mindset. I know I am going to need lots of practice to get that great seat, which is all good as I loving riding my horse. My 1st ride without stirrups was tough, I thought my balance was pretty good, I've managed to stick some pretty hairy moments, but I had to ditch the dressage whip and grab the front of my saddle at times. My balance was definitely better on the next ride and sitting trot wasn't too bad. It's when I try and do sitting with stirrups I lose it a bit. Did my ride in sitting yesterday and starting to feel like I'm getting the right feeling. Can feel my seat bones now, didn't lose my stirrups, and getting horse to move along nicely. I guess I am thinking about mindset a lot more now and that was the difference between a good lesson and a great lesson. Thanks!” Lauren McLean Riding Program 2013

gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing. Don’t be reckless with o t h e r p e o p l e ’s h e a r t s . Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know
didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.
“Hi! Im Jeanette Persson from Sweden. I just wanna say thank you for helping me with my riding! My horse bucked me off a couple of times and I was REALLY REALLY scared to ride him again. After reading your blog, articles and watching your videos on YouTube, I got so much more motivation and energy and that was just what I needed! So now I can ride him by myself inside the arena and outside! I’m still a bit scared but I’m doing it! Thank you Tash!!!!!! Best wishes” Jeanette Persson YouTube Subscriber
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
“You addressed my problems in riding as if you were actually with me... I couldn't find anyone on youtube as good as you in visualizing riding problems in "details". I wish you were my instructor... LOL! Thank you for the great tips.”
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents. You never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They’re your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you’ll fantasize that when
you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re 40 it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen.
“Hi Fabulous Natasha I absolutely loved the "Using Balance" visual. So soft, subtle and gentle. I am still a beginner rider in terms of skill and technique relative to where I want to be. Your posture, relaxation and the forward and roundness of your horse is what want to emulate. Thank you so much for that image. I love riding without stirrups. Everything seems to work better for me. I trust my mare and feel safe. I stop hanging onto my reins and I seem to have fairly good balance. I fall apart a bit in the canter trot transitions which tells me I have to do something differently. I love your approach it turns theory into practice. I can’t wait to translate it into action on my horse. cheers Kerry aka Fabulous Kerry ( I like it )” Kerry Walker Riding Program 2013

MEMBER GALLERY | BRAG BOARD Emma Flewell-Smith: by far my biggest what I consider success is my cantering :) Before the YRS and DT I was getting no where, and had almost settled to the idea that I'd never canter my horse because I was too scared and he was too fast and hot, and nobody i turned to could help me (although they did try!). Since the YRS and DT program I've gone from being too afraid, to just loving it and cantering without any nerves, and my horse has just transformed with my changed mindset. Even when he has had moments of being a bit fast, or 'hoppy' in the canter, it has not phased me - and Wow I never though I'd ever see that day! Means the world to me and my horse too cos he loves to canter :)

I had fun participating in competition for the first time and Buddy is a wonderful school horse who taught me from the beginning Below: Naomi Duke - After working with my young and gave me the opportunity to horse under saddle for the past 14 months we finally do things like this. went to our first competition. I would certainly not call myself a confident rider, especially on my young one but we made it there and had a good go. There is still plenty more exposure required but I was so proud of both of us out there in the big wide world.

So Super Kate has created a page on Facebook. So click here now to head over to the Facebook page now and join the group - I have already posted the book for this month - “Dressage with Kyra: The Kyra Kyrklund Training Method” If you would like to get yourself a copy, click here to purchase through Amazon now! :) Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and share a book with you every month!
