The secret to seemingly effortless riding is to begin, one by one putting a basic on autopilot - and then revisiting and upgrading them regularly

The basics in riding are all the seemingly small, but vitally important, things that are essential to developing as a rider. They are like the foundations.

Choosing a 'Basic on Autopilot' This Month

I think that there are a few key areas that you can begin looking at putting onto autopilot in your riding. Now, obviously, each of these topics is pretty sizeable and has many different facets to them; there are no 'quick wins' and 'one solution fit all' here.

    2. Your Position & Posture
    3. Your Basic Aids
    4. Bending & Turning
    5. Trotting (transitions and what you do while trotting)
    6. Cantering (transitions and what you do while cantering)
