Paige. 14. Been riding almost 10 yrs.
Right now (point A) I have a reasonably new horse and am working with getting her to round & building towards competing this season & eventually bigger jumps.
Point B- eventing at pre training - training level with nice dressage test & having her rounded. 1m-1.05m SJ rounds (clear & rhythmical)
If you watched one of my sessions you would see me having some sort of problem at the beginning, then towards the end having a way to fix it & be able to do exercises to do at home to help the problem.
The coaching works for me because you use other examples & different ways of explaining things to make them easier to understand. You don't just tell me what to do or how to fix a problem, but make me think about what i'm doing/what I need to do etc, so I figure things out for myself and so it's easier to remember and work on at home.
I probably need to communicate things I want to work on more, but again you make it easy to understand and make sure that I understand why I'm doing something or what I need to do. I definitely feel like I've improved with coaching & being on my way to achieving the things I want to. Coaching sessions are hard work but that's good & what I need.
I’d like to work a bit more on jumping courses rather than a few at a time.
