Whether it's improving our own riding skills or training the horse, it all takes repetition. Sometimes it feels like we're at it forever! But, giving one big aid or working on something a couple of times, even if it feels successful, does not mean the horse now gets it and will do it that way forever, or that your position is permanently improved.

We need to continue to work toward improvement with empathy for our equine partner while remembering that over millimeters and minutes, we build up the accumulation of better balance, better strength, better aids, and better control over ourselves, and that leads to the changes we seek.

In this podcast, JJ talks about how the 3 stages of training actually show up in every exercise we do, every time we ride. Being able to adjust the dials and correctly gymnastize your horse while keeping these 3 stages in mind not only helps your horse gain the strength and skill to go up the levels, it also stops what we often call "training holes" from ever becoming a deep-rooted problem that needs to be addressed after they've taken hold.

The 2 books JJ references are The Athletic Development of the Horse, and Dressage Principles Illuminated both by Charles de Kunffy.

Dave Thind is a German classically trained dressage rider who has developed a deep passion for the Feldenkrais method after discovering for himself how effective it can be.

Dave has developed a rider-specific Feldenkrais method that helps you learn that ever-elusive 'feel' as a rider, but it also can help with pain and dysfunction caused by injury and past movement patterns.

A fascinating method, Feldenkrais is not an exercise program but a technique that uses thoughtful movement and directed attention.

Enjoy this conversation where Dave's passion for his work shines through and inspires us to realize we absolutely can help ourselves feel and move better.

The book Dave references in this podcast is The Brain's Way of Healing by Norman Doidge.

In this podcast, JJ fills us in on what she's focusing on with the help of her new sports psychologist. She introduces us to Sally and Vicky, the names she's given to the parts of the brain (that we all have!) who can sometimes take over the driving duties and steer us away from our true selves. Sally and Vicky often show up when we're riding, and being able to recognize this and put them in the backseat can be a transformative experience!

We all have struggles. With our horses, with our riding skills, with our jobs, family, and just in life. Totally normal. But how we respond is up to us. This week JJ reminds us that we have the power to change things, and it usually means we need to just start shoveling!

JJ also gives us an update on what's going on in Germany with her horses, including the return of one of her top horses, and how watching the German horse selections for the FEI Dressage World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Ermelo, Netherlands, really got her thinking about shoveling!

As usual, JJ gives us a lot to think about and reminds us that if you follow the science of riding and keep chopping the wood, you never know where ANY horse will top out - it might just be the Grand Prix!

Every day we have the opportunity to make choices for ourselves and our horses.  We need to always honor our horses for who they are and how they are made. While there is no such thing as perfect, we must always strive to become the next best version of ourselves, and the same goes for our horses. Water doesn’t make a hole in a stone by power, but by persistence.  The perception of perfection is about slowly getting better every day.

"On the Bit" is one of those terms that can seem incredibly basic... but the more you learn, the deeper your understanding becomes!

JJ likes to joke that while she is studying in Germany, she has been learning how to sit and how to put her horse on the bit. As an international Grand Prix Trainer, she might have a little more insight into this concept than the rest of us, but her point is that you are NEVER done learning what it is to put your horse on the bit. Bonus: JJ gives us her one-year post Breast Cancer diagnosis update, and a little glimpse into her life riding and working in Germany.

Have you ever had a health crisis suddenly disrupt your riding, your career, your whole... life?  

"A month ago, my two biggest things were going to be taking Romeo to the developing Prix St George Championships and teaching Denali flying changes, but then cancer came knocking at my door, and it's a door you have to answer, even when you don't want to."    

One week post double masectomy and reconstructive surgery, JJ candidly shares her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer and her recovery. She urges everyone to know their body, and be careful of the "NQRs" -- the Not Quite Rights.   

True to JJ's irrepressible teacher's spirit, her focus moves on from her recovery to dressage, encouraging her riders showing at Lamplight, and sharing her most important advice for riders competing young horses, especially at a large venue.

"You're up there by two graces. The grace of God, and the grace of that horse. And if either one of them wants you off, you're OFF."   

Nicknamed "The Kid Pro" at her barn, talented sixteen year old JJ thought she could REALLY ride... until she got her fancy black warmblood Ehrenpreis! Ehrenpreis served her the lessons she needed about respect, patience, and the three evasions with a heaping side of humility. 

As JJ grew as a rider and horseman, he rewarded her with success up the levels and opportunities to study with top dressage riders in Europe.   

But Ehrenpreis delivered his most powerful lesson in Budapest in a frightening incident that almost took his life and changed JJ forever.  This episode will have you on the edge of your seat as you relive JJ's lessons learned from Ehrenpreis, the "textbook on four legs."

How do you know whether you should push through challenges with your horse to become a better rider or sell him and move on? In this episode, JJ discusses her criteria for making this difficult decision. She approaches the taboo subject of rider fear with both compassion and pragmatism, and encourages you to trust your trainer to help you decide when your emotions cloud your decision. Just like dating, your frog might be someone else's prince or princess. Life is too short to hold onto a horse you don't LOVE to ride!

"You really need to find a horse you have a spiritual connection with. There are some horses that bring you to a centered place, and that is like therapy."
