Soon, 3 years with Art2Ride

I have trained the horses according to Art2Ride's principles for almost 3 years. I've made lots of mistakes along the way, but I've learned from those mistakes. And I constantly learn something new. It is a difficult process when you always train alone. You have to be hard on yourself and indulgent with the horses. Most often, the horses do everything they can and it is me who makes the mistakes.

My routines

What I want to talk about in this post are the routines I have when I'm training the horses. Because of the mistakes I have made, I have become very systematic, some might say boring, in what I do, but it works.

walk work is extremely important in getting the horse to develop properly. Unfortunately, it is often the walk work that is done least out of, although it should be the gait one initially used most.

Many will experience when they start training their horses according to Art2Ride, that the horse is faster to stretch in trot compared to what it does in walk. So many of us are not working our horses enough in walk to start with, as we really should. I think most of us who train according to Art2Ride have made this mistake.
